Buying a double buggy from birth (take a look at the site here)

There are many things to take into consideration when choosing the ideal double buggy from the time 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 purchase for active families, this buggy grows with your family from twins through to toddlers. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and is able to handle uneven terrain easily.

What kind of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at the same time even if they're not the same age. They can also serve as prams and have recline mechanisms in each seat so your children can lie down in different positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They are often lightweight they fold easily and are small enough to fit in your car's boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the folded wheels and to take in and out of your car boot.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mums twin strollers for newborns, or even in one as a kid. They're great for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're usually easy to steer and, if you go for a model with a soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. The second seat is located behind the first, rather than on top. The seats are usually larger and heavier than a traditional side by side, so you should check whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant or three children by 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 or tandem buggies but offer lots of versatility and a good price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, come with large storage bins and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have an integrated ride-on board that can be used as "cinema seating" for your older child.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings of different ages, a double buggy is the best option to move them around. There are two main types of double buggy - side-byside buggies that let your children sit in a row, side-by-side or tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically wider overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.

Do you have a baby?

Being a parent to a child can feel like quite a big responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the infant. A double buggy can also make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child settle into their new role as big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered the best double strollers option for twins as they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that can be expanded the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

If you prefer, we suggest alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This innovative buggy starts as an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a lightest double stroller, which can include the place of a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are 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 children you may be able to get by using a single stroller with some attachments, such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry your child around 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 two seats positioned next to each other, which means your children will be able see each one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and may be difficult to navigate through kerbs. Tandem buggies are a most compact double stroller option with a seat at the front and a back seat. However they can be heavy and difficult to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to convert a single stroller into a double buggy by securing the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can keep your child in the car seat until she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children are older and have more stamina, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they'd prefer walking. It's important to remember that your children may not always like to be in a stroller, and may be tired and irritable when they are on longer excursions.

So, before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you consider the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify life especially if you need to navigate busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
