Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are many things to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from the time 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.

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

What kind of buggy do you want?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also be used as prams and have the ability to recline in each seat so your children can lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space to store everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They are usually light that folds easily and are small enough to fit in your car's boot. If you drive a great amount, you should check that the buggy can be easily maneuvered by folding the wheels into your car boot, and then removed.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side by side one, which you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a child. These are great for older siblings who want to keep up with you, or for twins and typically have many seating options (including "cinema" seats) for your children to choose from. They are generally easy to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they will easily navigate kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first, rather than on the top. They're typically bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, three children, with 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 compact double buggy by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They are more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium selling price. They are easy to steer and feature large storage bins. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some even have a built-in ride-on board and "cinema seating" for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggie is the best way to transport them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting over the other, and side-byside buggies. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate both a toddler seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a baby?

Being a parent to a child can be a big responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the baby. A double buggy can also make it easier for them to feel included if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when they become a "big brother or sister" and help them get used to their role.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered to be the best choice for twins because they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy that features an innovative frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options, including the second seat for an infant bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and like to explore. This nifty buggy is a single-pushchair which can be made double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort but they're not essential for every family. You might be able to make do with a single stroller, and some attachments like baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in front.

If you do opt for a double prams with adjustable footrest buggy there are three kinds to choose from: side by side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children can see each other. They are larger than a single stroller and may be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an easier way to travel with a seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they are still heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your child in the car seat until is ready to step 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 addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more capable, you can use a double buggy to take them on bicycle rides or for day trips where they might prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always desire to be in a buggy, and they could easily get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

Before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth be sure to consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller will simplify life especially if you need to travel through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
