Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when choosing 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, age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

This buggy is an essential item for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you like?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat comes with a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. They also come with plenty of storage space to store everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They are usually light they fold easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the wheels folded and also ready to grow double stroller get out and back into your boot.

You might have seen this type of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They're ideal for twins who are older or who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating configurations such as 'cinema seats'. These are usually easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. This is because the second seat is placed behind the first one, instead of on top of it. They're typically bigger than a side-byside and can be 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 three children by 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 tend to be more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and a high resale value. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have a built-in ride-on board and cinema seating for your older child.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings of different ages, a double buggy is the best way to move them around. There are two primary types of double buggy: side-byside buggies that let your children sit in a row, side-by-side, and tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have a toddler?

Being a parent to a child can feel like quite a big responsibility initially, particularly when you must tend to the infant. They might be a bit irritated when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling ahead and having a double buggy from the start can make things easier. It can also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when they are able to be "big brother or sister" and help them settle into their new role.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered the best compact double stroller option for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be hefty and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that opens widthways to take two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier.

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 a second seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone content.

Do you require a travel system for your business?

Double buggies are excellent for transporting your children around in comfort, but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You might be able to make do with a single stroller, and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.

There are three different 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 can see each one another. They are larger than a single stroller, and aren't easy to maneuver over kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact with a seat in the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert a single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your baby in their car seat until they're ready to grow double stroller to transition into the main buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent illustration - it could be used with twins as well as a toddler and an infant, or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more able to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to take them on bicycle rides or for day trips where they might prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that your children may not always like to be in a stroller and might become tired and disgruntled on longer outings.

Before you purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the above factors and your family's unique situation. A sturdy and reliable double buggy will make life simpler, especially when you need to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
