Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are many factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her tips on everything from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage.

A must-have purchase for active families This buggy can grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It is light, has great maneuverability and is able to handle uneven terrain easily.

What type of buggy would you like?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at the same time, even if they are not of the same age. They can also serve as prams. Each seat is equipped with a reclining mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They are often lightweight they fold easily and are compact double stroller enough to fit into your car's boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability with the wheels folded as well as to get it in and out of your car boot.

You might have seen this kind of double buggy on other mothers strollers or even in one as a child. They are ideal for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins and typically have many seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to choose from. They are generally easy to steer, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first, rather than on the top. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be a bit bulky when folded, so it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a baby and toddler or three children with the addition of a buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair from birth then convert to a double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're generally more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies but provide plenty of versatility and a good return on investment. They are easy to steer and come with large storage bins. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and cinema seating for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best double strollers method of transporting your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.

Do you have children?

At first having a younger sibling could seem like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the infant. They may also feel left out if they are placed in a baby carrier as you push the older one ahead and so having a double buggy from the start can make everything simpler. It can also help your child get into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered the best compact double stroller option for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This clever buggy can start as an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a double, which can include the place of a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and it has lots of thoughtful features to ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies can be an ideal way to move your children safely. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids you may be able to do with just a single stroller double and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child on their back or in front of you.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats that are close to each other, which means your children can see each one another. They are wider than a single twin stroller and aren't easy to maneuver through kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an alternative that is smaller, with a single seat in the front and another in the rear, however they can still be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic as they allow you to transform your single stroller into an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. You can keep your child in the car seat until he or is able to climb into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

If your children have grown older and have more endurance, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or day trips where they'd prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they may not prefer to ride in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired when they are on longer excursions.

Before you make the decision to buy a double buggy from birth be sure to think about the above points and the specific circumstances of your family. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can make life much easier particularly if you have to navigate busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
