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. 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 essential for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you like?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, fold up easily and are small enough to fit into your car boot. If you drive a great deal, it's important to make sure that the buggy be easily maneuvered by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They are perfect for twins who are older or who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. These are usually easy to navigate, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they will easily handle 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 instead of 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 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're generally more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and a high price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, come with an enormous storage basket and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings with different ages, a double strollers buggy is the best option to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting over the other, and side by side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have a toddler?

A younger sibling can feel like quite an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the baby. They might be feeling a little secluded if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older one ahead and so having a double buggy from the start will make life simpler. It can also help your child get into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side Double Single pushchair buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins since they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be bulky and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens widthways to take two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who are keen to explore. This clever buggy can start off as a single pushchair and is then convertible into a double, which can include a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it includes a number of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However, they are not necessary for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids, you may be able to make do using a single stroller with some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you.

If you decide to go with a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats close to each other, so your children can see each other. They are wider than a single stroller, and can be difficult to navigate around the kerbs. Tandem buggies are an alternative that is smaller, with one seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they can still be long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic as they allow you to transform your stroller into an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your infant snuggled comfortably in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example - it can be used with twins or a toddler, a baby or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.

When your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can also be used to accompany them on bike rides or day trips where they might prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your children might not always enjoy being in a stroller and might be tired and irritable during longer trips.

Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the factors above and your family's unique situation. A durable and reliable double buggy will make life easier, particularly when you need to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded malls.
