Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are plenty of things to take into consideration. 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 a must-have for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you like?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at once even if they're not the same age. They can also serve as prams and have the ability to recline in each seat so your children can lie down in different positions. They also come with plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They are often lightweight that folds easily and are compact enough to fit into the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre using the folded wheels, and also to get out and into your car boot.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who want to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have many seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They're usually pretty easy to drive and, if you go for a model that has soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option since they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on the top. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a traditional side by side however, so make sure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for 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 more expensive than tandem buggies or side-byside buggies, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium selling price. They're generally simple to steer, feature an enormous storage basket and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have built-in ride-on boards and cinema seating for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different ages, a double buggy is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two main kinds of double buggy - side-byside buggies that let your children are seated side by side, and tandem buggies where one child is placed above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.

Do you have children?

Having a younger sibling can feel like a big responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the baby. They may be feeling a little secluded when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older one to the side and having a double buggy right from the beginning can make things simpler. It can also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they become a 'big brother or sister' and help them settle into their new role.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered the best option for twins since they allow both children to enjoy the same view, however they can be bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE cheap double stroller from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens widthways to take two seats fixed. It also offers 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 like to explore. This clever buggy can start off as an individual pushchair, but it can then be converted into a double, taking the place of a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are great to transport your children around in comfort however they're not a necessary purchase for every family. You may be able make do with one stroller with a few attachments, such as baby straps and toddler carriers that permit you and your child to ride on their backs or in the front.

If you do opt for a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: side-by-side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats close to each other, meaning that your children will be able see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies provide a more compact alternative, with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they are still heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they let you convert your stroller to an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up comfortably in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example of this - it can be used for twins or a toddler, a baby or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.

Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy from birth buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they might prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your kids may not always like to be in a stroller, and may get tired and angry on longer outings.

Before you purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double buggy can make your life easier, especially when you are required to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
