Buying a Double Buggy From BirthWhen it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy , there are many things to take into consideration. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options and age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.This buggy is essential for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It’s light and easy to maneuver and can tackle uneven terrain with ease.What type of buggy do you want?Double buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams and have the ability to recline within each seat, allowing your children can lie down in different 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 up easily and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a significant deal, it’s important to check that the buggy can be easily moved with the wheels folded in your car boot and removed.The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side one, which you’ve probably seen on other mothers pushchairs or even ridden in as a kid. They’re ideal for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations such as ‘cinema seats’. They are generally easy to control, and if choose a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate 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 one, instead of over it. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a side-by-side and you must ensure that they will fit 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.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 and side-by-side buggies, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium resale price. They are easy to steer and have large storage bins. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have an integrated ride-on board that can be used as ‘cinema seating’ for your child’s older.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 kinds of double buggy – side-byside buggies that let your children sit in a row, side-by-side and tandem buggies in which one child is placed above the other. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.Do you have a child?A younger sibling can feel like an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. A double buggy can also help them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also give your child the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they become a ‘big brother or sister’ and help them settle into their role.The side-by-side double buggies could be a good option for twins, as each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that expands the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start with a single pushchair but it can then be converted 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 comes with a variety of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.Do you require a travel system?Double buggies can be a great way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren’t necessary for every family. You might be able to get by with just one stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to travel on their backs or in the front.There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are positioned side-by-side, so your children will be able to see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies offer a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can still be heavy and long to push.Convertible double buggies are great as they allow you to transform your stroller to a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This allows you to keep your baby comfortably in their car seat until they’re ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration – it could be used with twins or a toddler, one or more children with the optional PiggyBack Board.When your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they might prefer walking. It’s important to remember that your children may not always be comfortable in a stroller, and may get tired and angry during longer trips.Before you decide to invest in a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you take a look at the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make life easier, especially when you need to navigate through busy streets or crowded malls.
