Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are a lot of things to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from the time of birth. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options to age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

A must-have investment for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's lightweight and movable, and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy do want?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at once even if they're not of the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, easy to fold and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre using the folded wheels, and to take out and into your boot.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mums strollers or even in one 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 options (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you opt for a model with soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular option since they're easier to turn than side-by-side. This is because the second seat is placed behind the first, instead of sitting over it. They're usually wider than a side-by-side and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler or three children with the inclusion 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 are generally more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and a high price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket 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?

Double buggys are the best method of transporting your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary types of double buggy: side-by-side buggies in which your children are seated side by side and tandem buggies in which one child is placed above the other. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seats.

Do you have children?

Being a parent to a child can be an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the infant. A nipper double buggy buggy can help children to feel included when you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a good option for twins since both children will share the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc which has an innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This clever buggy can start with a single to double buggy pushchair but can be converted into a double pushchair from birth, taking the place of 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 clever features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children in comfort. However they aren't required for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids you might be able to make do with a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child around on their backs or in front of you.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats near each other, so your children will be able see each one another. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies offer a more compact alternative, with one seat in the front and one in the rear, but they are still heavy and long to push.

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

When your children are older and have more stamina, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day excursions where they prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your children may not always like to be in a stroller, and may get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the factors above and your family's unique situation. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make life easier, especially when you are required to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
