Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When you are deciding on the perfect double buggy, there are plenty of things to consider. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her advice on everything ranging from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage.

This buggy is essential for active families. It will grow with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain easily.

What kind of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at once even if they're not the same age. They can also serve as prams. Each seat is equipped with a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are often lightweight they fold easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a lot amount, you should ensure that the buggy can be easily pushed around with the wheels folded in your boot and taken out.

You might have seen this type of double buggy on other moms strollers, or even in one as a child. They're great for twins who are older or who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first instead of sitting on top of it. They're usually bigger than a side-byside and can be bulky when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, three children, with the addition of an additional 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're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and a very high cost of resale. They are easy to steer and come with a large storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggy is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, which have one child sitting above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seat.

Do you have a baby?

Being a parent to a child can feel like quite a big responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the baby. They may also feel left out if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side and so having a double buggy from the start can make everything easier. It will aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered the best option for twins because they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy that features an innovative frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also comes with a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat to create an infant bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore. This clever buggy is a single-pushchair which can be made double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it has lots of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require an automated business travel system?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However, they are not necessary for every family. You may be able make do with one twin umbrella stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that permit you and your child to be able to travel 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 positioned close to each other, which means your children can see each one another. They are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to maneuver over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are small with a seat at the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform a single stroller into double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your infant snuggled safely 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 or a toddler and baby or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children get older and more mobile and able, you can get a double pram pushchair buggy to accompany them to bike rides or day excursions where they might prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your kids may not always enjoy being in a stroller and might be tired and irritable on longer outings.

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
