10 Meetups About Double Buggy From Birth You Should Attend

Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are many things to take into consideration when choosing the ideal double buggy right from 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 for active families This buggy can grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's light and easy to maneuver and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do want?

A double buggy is great for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams and come with the ability to recline in each seat so your children can lay down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight they fold easily and are small enough to fit in your car's boot. If you travel a significant amount, you should make sure that the buggy be easily moved with the folded wheels in your boot and taken out.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side by side, which you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. They're great for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. These are usually easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they can easily navigate kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first, instead of sitting over it. The seats are usually wider and bulkier than a side-by-side and you must ensure whether they can fit through doors or pushchairsandprams on public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and a baby or three children 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 have a great price for resales. They are easy to steer and come with a large storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggy is the most efficient way to move them around. There are two main kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies in which your children sit in a row, side-by-side, and tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be smaller in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be wider overall. They can also be able to accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have one?

At first having a younger sibling may seem like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're taking care of the baby. A double buggy may allow them to feel included if you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they become a "big brother or sister" and help them adjust to their role.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins because they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that expands the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and like to explore. This buggy is clever and can start as a single pushchair but is then convertible into a double, taking an additional seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that will keep everyone content.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies can be an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't necessary for every family. You may be able get by with just a single stroller, and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you to ride on their backs or in front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats near each other, so your children can see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair, and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact, with one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into a double buggy by securing the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your baby in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

As your children grow older and more capable, you can use a double buggy to take them to cycling trips or other day trips where they might prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy and can easily be tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a Cosatto Supa Dupa Double Stroller: Lightweight And Compact stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life especially if you need to navigate busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
