Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

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

A must-have investment for families with active children, this buggy grows with your family from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight double pushchair with great manoeuvrability and is able to tackle difficult terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you prefer?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not of the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight, fold up easily and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a significant amount, it's essential to ensure that the buggy can be easily pushed around by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mothers strollers double, or even in one as a child. They are perfect for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They also come in a variety of seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to drive and, if you go for a model that has soft suspension, you can make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular option because they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat is positioned behind the first one, instead of sitting over it. They're typically bigger than a side-byside and can be bulky when folded, so it's essential to make sure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and three children with the addition of a buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single and double stroller-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 offer lots of flexibility and a high return on investment. They are easy to steer and feature large storage bins. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with an integrated ride-on board that can be used as cinema seating for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggie is the best way to move them around. There are two types of double buggy side by side buggies: tandem buggies, where one child is seated above the other, and side-byside buggies. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-byside buggies are typically narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate both seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have one?

A younger sibling can be an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the infant. They might also feel left out when they are in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling ahead, so having a double buggy from the start will make life simpler. It can also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side buggies can be a great option for twins, as both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who love to explore. This innovative buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You might be able to use one stroller and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that permit you and your child to ride on their backs or in front.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats positioned near each other, which means your children will be able to see each other. They are larger than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate around the kerbs. Tandem buggies are small, with one seat at the front and a back seat. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they let you convert your stroller to an additional buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. You can keep your baby in the car seat until is able to climb up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration - it could be used for twins, a toddler and one or more children using the optional PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more able to walk, you can opt for double buggys to accompany them to cycling trips or other day trips where they may prefer walking. It's important to remember that your children may not always like to be in a stroller, and may get tired and angry during longer trips.

So, before you decide to purchase a double stroller from the beginning, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can make life much easier particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
