Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are many things to take into consideration when choosing the perfect double buggy from the moment of birth. 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 a must-have for active families. It grows with your family from toddlers to twins. It is lightweight and movable, and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.

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 be used as prams and have a reclining mechanism in each seat, so your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold easily and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability with the folded wheels as well as to get it out and back into your boot.

You might have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers strollers or even in one as a kid. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your little ones to choose from. They are usually simple to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they will effortlessly handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular option because they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat sits behind the first instead of sitting over it. 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 baby 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 or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and a high resale value. They're generally easy to steer, come with a huge storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different ages, a double travel stroller buggy is the best option to move them around. 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 by side double stroller buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.

Do you have children?

At first the idea of having a younger sibling can feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the baby. A double buggy can help children to feel included when you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child settle into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side buggies can be a good option for twins since each child will get the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy side by side buggy with an innovative frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat for a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who are keen to explore. This innovative buggy starts off as an individual pushchair, but is then convertible into a double by adding an additional seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that are sure to ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you need a travel system?

double running buggy buggies can be an ideal way to move your children in a comfortable way. 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 using a single stroller with some attachments like baby carriers and toddler harnesses 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 have the two seats that are close to each other, meaning that your children will be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and can be difficult to maneuver over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact with a seat at the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies are wonderful because they let you convert your stroller to double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they might prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they may not desire to be in a buggy and could easily get tired and angry on longer outings.

Before you decide to invest in a double buggy from birth, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double stroller buggy can make life easier, particularly when you are required to navigate busy streets or overcrowded malls.
