Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are plenty of aspects to consider. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her suggestions on everything from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage.

This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can tackle difficult terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you prefer?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also be used as prams and come with a reclining mechanism within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lie down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, fold up easily and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use using the folded wheels, and also to get in and out of your boot.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs or even ridden in as a kid. They're ideal for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating options and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They are usually simple to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to effortlessly handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat is positioned behind the first instead of sitting on top of it. They're typically wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, so it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby or three children with the inclusion 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 tend to be more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and a high resale value. They're generally simple to steer, feature an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have built-in ride-on boards and cinema seating for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best way to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits over the other, and side by side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also be able to accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have children?

At first the idea of having a younger sibling may seem like a lot of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the baby. They may also feel left out if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling ahead and so having a double buggy right from the beginning can make things easier. It can also give your child the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they are able to be 'big brother or sister' and help them settle into their role.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins since they allow both children to enjoy the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy with an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options including using the second seat for an infant bassinet.

If you prefer, we suggest the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This innovative buggy is a single pushchair that can be converted into double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that are sure to ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are a great way to transport your children safely. However, they are not necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to get by with a single to double stroller stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child around on their backs or in front of you.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are set in a row, so that your children will be able to see each other. However, they are typically larger than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are a Compact Twin Stroller option, with one seat at the front and a second one at the back. However, they can be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies are wonderful because they let you convert your stroller to double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This allows you to keep your infant snuggled safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good example of this - it can be used with twins as well as a toddler and a baby or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more mobile and able, you can get a double buggy to accompany them to bike rides or day excursions in which they prefer walking. It's important to remember that your kids may not always enjoy being in a stroller and could become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

Before you decide to invest in a double stroller from the beginning, take some time to consider the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double buggy will make life simpler, especially when you need to navigate through busy streets or busy malls.
