Buying a Double Buggy From Birth There are plenty of things to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from birth. 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 a must-have for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can tackle uneven terrain easily. What type of buggy would you like? Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at a time even if they're not the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in different positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, fold easily and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the folded wheels as well as to get it in and out of your boot. The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. They are perfect for twins who are older or who want to keep pace with you. They also come in a variety of seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to steer and, if you go for a model with soft suspension, you can make light work of the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a popular option because they're easier to turn than side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first, instead of sitting over it. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side, so you should check whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a baby and toddler or three children with the inclusion 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 more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a high selling price. They are easy to steer and have large storage bins. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema seats'. Do you have twins? If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the best way to transport them around. There are two main types of double buggy: side-byside buggies that let your children are seated in a row, side-by-side or tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both buggies are able to accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower 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 toddler? At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling may seem like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the infant. A double buggy can help them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child settle into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'. The side-by-side double buggies can be a good option for twins, since both children will share the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy that features an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also provides a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat for a bassinet. Alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This buggy is clever and can start with a single pushchair and is then convertible into a double by adding the place of a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and it includes a number of clever features that will keep everyone happy. Do you need a travel system? Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort but they're not essential for every family. You might be able to use one stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit you and your child to travel 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 positioned close to each other, meaning that your children can see each other. However, these are generally larger than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option with a seat in the front and a second one at the back. However, they can be heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they allow you to convert your stroller to an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your infant snuggled safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good example of this – it can be used for twins as well as a toddler and a baby or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board. If your children have grown older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day excursions where they prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they may not always desire to be in a buggy and could easily get tired and angry on longer outings. So, before you make the decision to buy a double stroller from the beginning, take some time to take a look at the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double buggy will make life simpler, especially when you need to navigate busy streets or crowded malls.
