Buying a Double Buggy From Birth When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are a lot of things to take into consideration. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her suggestions on everything from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage. This buggy is a must-have for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and is able to tackle uneven terrain easily. What kind of buggy would you prefer? A double buggy is perfect for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also be used as prams and have recline mechanisms in each seat so your children can lie down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, fold easily and are small enough to fit into your car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking that the buggy's maneuverability with the folded wheels and to take out and back into your car boot. The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. They are ideal for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have many seating options (including “cinema” seats) for your little ones to choose from. They are generally easy to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they are able to effortlessly handle kerbs. Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. The second seat is located behind the first rather than on the top. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be heavy when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a buggy. 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 the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium selling price. They are easy to steer and come with 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 pram pushchair are the most efficient way to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary types of double buggy – side-by-side buggies where your children sit side by side or tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically wider overall. They can also accommodate both a toddler seat and a carrycot. Do you have a child? At first, having a younger sibling may feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the infant. A double buggy can also allow children to feel included when you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can 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 new role. Side-by-side buggies can be a great option for twins, as each child will get the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that can be expanded widthways to take two seats fixed and provides different configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet. We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and like to explore. This nifty buggy is a single pushchair that can be transformed into double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that will keep everyone content. Do you require a travel system? Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't required for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids, you may be able to get by with just a single stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child around on their back or in front of you. If you choose to purchase a double buggy there are three types to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children can be able to see each other. However, they tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option that has one seat in the front and a back seat. However they can be quite heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by securing the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration – it could be used for twins, a toddler and an infant, or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board. As your children grow older and more capable and able, you can get double buggys to accompany them to bike rides or day excursions where they might prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always want to be in a buggy and could easily become disgruntled and tired during longer trips. So, before you make the decision to buy a double buggy from birth, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life particularly if you have to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
