Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are a lot of aspects to consider. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options, age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

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

What type of buggy would you prefer?

A double pram buggy buggy is great for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight twin stroller, easy to fold and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the wheels folded and also to get out and back into your car boot.

You might have seen this kind of double buggy on other moms' strollers or even ridden in one as a child. They are ideal for older siblings that want to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have a large number of seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your toddlers to pick from. These are usually easy to navigate, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they will easily navigate kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first, instead of sitting over it. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a traditional side by side and you must ensure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and an infant or three children by the addition of an extra 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 more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and a very high selling price. They're generally easy to steer, come with 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, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem double stroller buggies, where one child is seated above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-byside buggies are typically narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have a toddler?

Having a younger sibling can be a big responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the baby. A double buggy can also make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when they get to be 'big brother or sister' and help them settle into their new role.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great choice for twins, since both children will have the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We also recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This buggy is clever and can start off as a single pushchair but it can then be converted into a double, taking a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are excellent to transport your children around in comfort, but they're not essential for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids, you may be able to make do using a single stroller with certain attachments such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child around on their back or in front of you.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats near each other, so your children will be able see each other. These buggies are wider than a single to double stroller stroller and aren't easy to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they can be still quite long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they allow you to convert your stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. It is possible to keep your baby in the car seat until he/she she is ready to move up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more able to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to accompany them on bike rides or day excursions in which they prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they may not prefer to ride in a buggy and could easily become disgruntled and tired during longer trips.

Before you make the decision to buy a double buggy from birth make sure you take a look at the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A solid and reliable double stroller can make life much easier especially if you need to navigate busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
