Buying a Double Buggy From Birth When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are plenty 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. A must-have for families with active children, this buggy grows with your family from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can tackle difficult terrain with ease. What type of buggy do want? A double buggy is great for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can be used as prams and have the ability to recline in each seat, so your children can lie down in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, fold easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking the buggy's ease of use using the folded wheels, as well as to get it out and back into your car boot. You may have seen this type of double buggy on other moms strollers, or even in one as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins and typically have numerous seating options (including “cinema” seats) for your little ones to pick from. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you decide to go for a model with a soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs. Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first, rather than on top. The seats are generally bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side, so you should check whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and baby or three kids 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer plenty of flexibility and a very high cost of resale. They're generally easy to steer, come with large storage bins and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema seats'. Do you have twins? Double buggys are the best way to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary kinds of double buggy – side-by-side buggies where your children are seated side by side, and tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate both a toddler seat and a carrycot. Do you have children? Being a parent to a child can feel like quite an overwhelming responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the infant. A double buggy can also make it easier for children to feel included when you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also give your child the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they are able to be “big brother or sister” and help them adjust to their role. Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins since they allow both children to enjoy the same view, however they can be bulky and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that can be expanded widthways to take two seats fixed and provides 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 love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start off as a single pushchair and can be converted into a double, taking a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone content. Do you require a traveling system? Double buggies can be an ideal way to move your children safely. However they aren't required for every family. You might be able to use a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front. There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats that are near each other, which means your children can see each one another. twin umbrella stroller are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies are small with a seat in the front and another at the back. However, they can be heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies are wonderful as they allow you to transform your single stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. twin umbrella stroller can leave your baby in the car seat until he or she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration – it could be used for twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board. When your children become older and more able, you can use a double buggy to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips in which they prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they may not always prefer to ride in a buggy, and they could easily get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions. Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
