Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of things to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from the moment of birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her advice on everything ranging from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage.

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

What kind of buggy would you like?

A double buggy is great for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also be used as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight double stroller, easy to fold and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a lot amount, you should check that the buggy can be easily pushed around with the folded wheels in your boot and taken out.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-by-side, which you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. These are great for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have numerous seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to pick from. They are generally easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first and not on the top. The seats are usually bigger and bulkier than a side by side and you must ensure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and 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 are generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and a high price for resales. They are easy to steer and feature an ample storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best method of transporting your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggy - side-by-side buggies where your children are seated side by side or tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate both seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have a baby?

Being a parent to a child can be an overwhelming responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. They might also feel left out if they are placed in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling ahead and so having a double buggy from the start can make everything simpler. It will also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

double pushchair with car seat buggies that are side-by-side are often considered to be the best choice for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that opens widthways to take two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

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

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies can be 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 kids you might be able to do with just a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers which allow you to transport your child around on their back or in front of you.

There are three types of double buggy with carrycot buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are placed parallel to each other, so your children can be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller, and can be difficult to maneuver around the kerbs. Tandem buggies provide a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, but they can be still quite large and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform one stroller into double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow 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 great example of this - it can be used for twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children become older and more able, you can use double buggys to accompany them to cycling trips or other day trips where they might prefer to walk. It is important to keep in mind that your children may not always be comfortable in a stroller, and may become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

So, before you decide to invest in a double buggy side by side buggy at the time of birth, take some time to take a look at the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify life particularly if you have to navigate busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
