Buying a double buggy from birth (just click for source)

There are plenty of things to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from the moment of 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 for families with active children 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 kind of buggy do you prefer?

A double buggy is perfect for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also be used as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, fold up easily and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the folded wheels and to take out and into your boot.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. They're great for twins or older siblings who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're generally easy to steer and, if you decide to go for a model that has soft suspension, you can make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular option since they're easier to turn than side-by-side. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first one, instead of on top of it. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be heavy when folded, so it's essential to make sure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and baby or three kids 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 are generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies but provide plenty of versatility and a good price for resales. They are easy to steer and feature large storage bins. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient way to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies where your children sit in a row, side-by-side or tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have a child?

At first, having a younger sibling can seem like a lot of responsibility especially if you're taking care of the baby. A double buggy can also allow them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child settle into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a good option for twins since both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE cheap double pushchair by Leclerc with its innovative frame that can be expanded in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This innovative buggy is a single-pushchair twin which can be made a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and comes with a variety of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require an effective travel system for your business?

Double buggies are great for transporting your children around in comfort but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You may be able make do with one stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that allow your child and you to travel on their backs or in front.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy there are three kinds to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are placed in a row, so that your children will be able to be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and can be difficult to navigate around the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option with a seat at the front and a second one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they let you convert your twin umbrella stroller to double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This will allow you to keep your newborn snuggled up in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example of this - it can be used for twins or a toddler, a baby or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.

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

So, before you decide to purchase a double stroller from the beginning be sure to think about the above points and your family's specific circumstances. Having a solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life especially if you need to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
