Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are plenty of things to consider. 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 an essential item for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It’s light and easy to maneuver and can handle difficult terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at once, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams and come with recline mechanisms in each seat, so your children can lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are often lightweight, fold easily, and compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you travel a significant deal, it’s important to ensure that the buggy can be easily moved by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you’ve probably seen on other mothers pushchairs double, or perhaps ridden in as a child. They are perfect for twins who are older or who want to keep pace with you. They also come in various seating options and styles, including ‘cinema chairs’. They’re usually easy to steer and, if you 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 very 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 generally bigger than a side-byside and can be bulky when folded, so it’s essential to make sure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition of a buggy.

Lastly there are the’single-to-double running stroller‘ 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-byside buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and come with a premium cost of resale. They’re generally easy to steer, have a huge storage basket and can 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 with different age groups, a double buggie is the best double strollers way to move them around. There are two primary kinds of double buggy – side-byside buggies that let your children are seated in a row, side-by-side and tandem buggies in which one child is placed above the other. Both buggies are able to accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seat.

Do you have a child?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling could seem like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, particularly if you’re also caring for the baby. A double buggy can also help them to feel included if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they get to be ‘big brother or sister’ and help them settle into their role.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best double strollers choice for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, but they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with an innovative frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options, including the second seat to create a bassinet.

If you prefer, we suggest alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This innovative buggy starts with an individual pushchair, but it can then be converted into a double, which can include the place of a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

You may be able make do with one stroller with a few attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you 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 close to each other, so your children can see each other. However, they are typically larger than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are small that has one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However, they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert a single stroller into double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until he/she she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example – it can be used with twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.

It’s important to remember that your children might not always be comfortable in a stroller and could be tired and irritable on longer outings.

Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family’s specific circumstances. Having a solid and reliable double stroller will simplify your life especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
