Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are a lot of things to consider when selecting the ideal 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 to age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

A must-have investment for families with active children This buggy can grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you like?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can be used as prams and have the ability to recline in each seat, so your children can lay down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, easy to fold and small enough to fit into the car boot. If you travel a significant deal, it's important to ensure that the buggy can be easily moved by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've probably seen on other mums' twin pushchairs or even rode in as a kid. These are great for older siblings who wish to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have a large number of seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your little ones to pick from. They are usually simple to control, and if select a model that has a soft suspension, they are able to effortlessly handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat sits behind the first instead of sitting over it. They're typically wider than a side-by-side and can be a bit bulky when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children by the addition of an additional buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double pram Stroller' 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're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium selling price. They are easy to steer and feature a large storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best way to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits over the other, and side by side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be wider overall. They can also accommodate both a toddler seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a toddler?

At beginning having a younger sibling can feel like a lot of responsibility especially if you're caring for the baby. They might also feel left out if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side and having a double buggy right from the beginning can make everything easier. It will aid your child in settling into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins because they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy with a unique frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options including using the second seat as the bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start off as a single pushchair but is then convertible into a double by adding a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it has lots of thoughtful features to ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies are a great way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren't required for every family. You could make do with one stroller with a few attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler straps that allow you and your child to ride on their backs or in the front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats that are close to each other, so your children can see each one another. They are larger than a single twin stroller side by side and may be difficult to navigate around kerbs. Tandem buggies are an alternative that is smaller, with one seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they allow you to convert your twin stroller to an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. You can keep your child in the car seat until he or is able to climb up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

As your children grow older and more able and able, you can get a double buggy to accompany them to bicycle rides or for day trips where they may prefer to walk. It is important to keep in mind that your children might not always enjoy being in a stroller, and may be tired and irritable during longer trips.

Before you invest in a sit n stand double stroller stroller, take into consideration the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life especially if you need to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
