Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of factors 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.

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

What type of buggy do you want?

A double buggy is perfect for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light they fold easily and are compact enough to fit in your car's boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded as well as to get it in and out of your car boot.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other moms strollers, or even in one as a kid. They're great for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They also come in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They are generally easy to control, and if choose a model with a soft suspension, they will easily handle kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on top. The seats are generally wider and bulkier than a side by side however, so make sure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler 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 tend to be more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and a high return on investment. They are easy to steer and come with large storage bins. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal method to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits above the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also be able to accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have one?

A younger sibling can feel like an overwhelming responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the infant. A double buggy may allow them to feel included if you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child settle into their new role as big brother or sister'.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered to be the best twin buggy choice for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy that features an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also comes with a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat to create a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who love to explore. This innovative buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and includes a number of thoughtful features to keep everyone happy.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies can be an ideal way to move your children safely. However, they are not necessary for every family. Depending 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 backs or in front of you.

If you decide to go with a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: side-by-side as well as convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats that are near each other, meaning that your children can see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller, and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact, with one seat at the front and a back seat. However they can be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by securing an infant car seat to the frame. You can leave 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 or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children get older and more able, you can use double buggys to accompany them on bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer walking. However, it's worth remembering that they may not always want to be in a buggy and can easily get tired and angry on longer outings.

Before you invest in a double pram and pushchair stroller, think about the above factors and your family's unique situation. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify your life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
