Buying a Double Buggy From Birth When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are many things to consider. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options, age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space. This buggy is essential for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and can tackle difficult terrain with ease. What kind of buggy would you prefer? Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at once, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are often lightweight that folds easily and are compact enough to fit in your car's boot. If you travel a significant amount, it's essential to make sure that the buggy be easily pushed around with the wheels folded in your car boot, and then removed. The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-by-side one, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs or even ridden in as a kid. These are great for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins. They typically come with a large number of seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to choose from. They're generally easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs. Tandem buggies are a popular choice as they're typically more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first rather than on the top. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a side-by-side and you must ensure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, a baby or three children with the addition of an extra 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 tend to be more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and have a great return on investment. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema chairs'. Do you have twins? Double buggys are the most efficient method to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggy – side-by-side buggies where your children sit together and tandem buggies in which one child is placed above the other. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However double single pushchair -by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat. Do you have a toddler? A younger sibling can be an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the infant. A double buggy can allow children to feel included when you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child get into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'. Side-by-side buggies can be a great choice for twins, as both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that expands in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, including using the second seat as a bassinet or infant carrier. We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who are keen to explore. This innovative buggy is a single pushchair that can be converted into double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has numerous thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy. Do you require an effective system of travel for your business? Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children in comfort. However, they are not necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your kids, you may be able to do with a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child on their backs or in front of you. If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are set in a row, so that your children will be able to see each other. However, these are typically larger than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, but they are still heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your newborn snuggled up in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this – it's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board. Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day excursions where they prefer to walk. But, it's important to remember that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy and could easily be tired and disgruntled during longer trips. Before you decide to invest in a double buggy at the time of birth be sure to consider the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A solid and reliable double stroller will simplify life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
