Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are many aspects to consider. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options and age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

This buggy is essential for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It's light and easy to maneuver and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are great for transporting two children at once even if they're not the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light that folds easily and are small enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a lot it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded and also to get out and into your car boot.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've probably seen on other mums' pushchairs or even rode in as a child. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to pick from. These are usually easy to control, and if choose a model with a soft suspension, they will effortlessly handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. The second seat is placed behind the first rather than on top. The seats are usually wider and bulkier than a traditional side by side and you must ensure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids 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 push chair by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They tend to be more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and have a great resale value. They're generally simple to steer, feature an enormous storage basket and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal method to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, which have one child sitting over the other, and side by side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also be able to accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have a toddler?

Being a parent to a child can be an enormous responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the baby. A double buggy can help them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child get into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered to be the best compact double stroller choice for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that expands in width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy double travel buggy Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This clever buggy is a single-pushchair that can be converted into double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require an effective travel system for your business?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However, they are not necessary for every family. You might be able to make do with one stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are set parallel to each other, so your children can see one another. However, they tend to be wider than a single pushchair, and are difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option that has one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they allow you to convert your stroller to an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your infant snuggled safely in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example of this - it can be used for twins as well as a toddler and an infant, or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more capable, you can use a double buggy to take them on bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they may not always want to be in a buggy, and they could easily get tired and angry during longer trips.

Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family's unique situation. A solid and reliable double stroller can make life much easier particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
