Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are many factors to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from the moment of birth. 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 essential for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight double stroller with great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain easily.

What kind of buggy do you want?

A double buggy is great for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can be used as prams, and they have the ability to recline within each seat, allowing your children can lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They are often lightweight, fold easily, and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a lot amount, it's essential to make sure that the buggy be easily maneuvered with the wheels folded in your car boot, and then removed.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins. They typically come with numerous seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your children to choose from. These are usually easy to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they will easily handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by sides, are also very popular. This is because the second seat sits behind the first one, instead of over it. They're usually bigger than a side-byside and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why 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 kids with the addition of a buggy.

Lastly there are the'single to double buggy-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair from birth then convert to a double stroller with infant car seat by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and come with a premium resale price. They are easy to steer and feature an ample storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the best way to transport them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits above the other, and side-byside buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be wider overall. They can also be able to accommodate a toddler seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a child?

A younger sibling can be an overwhelming responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. They may be a bit irritated when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older one along and so having a double buggy from the start will make life simpler. It will also give your child a sense of pride as they get to be 'big brother or sister' and help them adjust to their new role.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best double strollers choice for twins because they allow both children to enjoy the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE double single Pushchair by Leclerc with its innovative frame that can be expanded in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, such as using the second seat 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 an individual 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 super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it includes a number of thoughtful features to ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children safely. However they aren't required for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children, you may be able to make do using a single stroller with some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry 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. The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children will be able to see each other. However, these are typically larger than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are an easier way to travel with a seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can still be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to convert a single stroller into a double buggy by securing an infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your infant snuggled comfortably in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great illustration of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

If your children have grown older and have more stamina, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day trips where they might prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired during longer trips.

Before you make the decision to buy a double stroller from the beginning be sure to consider the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double buggy converts to single buggy will make life easier, particularly when you are required to navigate through busy streets or crowded malls.
