Buying a Double Buggy From Birth There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her tips on everything from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage. A must-have investment for active families, this buggy grows with your family from twins to toddlers. lightweight double stroller , has great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain easily. What type of buggy do you prefer? Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at the same time even if they're not of the same age. They can also serve as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, fold easily, and compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the wheels folded as well as to get it in and out of your boot. 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 rode in as a child. These are great for older siblings who want to keep up with you, or for twins. They typically come with numerous seating options (including “cinema” seats) for your children to choose from. They're generally easy to steer and, if you opt for a model that has soft suspension, you can make light work of the kerbs. Tandem buggies are another popular option because they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on top. They're generally larger than a side-by-side, and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a baby and toddler or three children 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 or side-by-side buggies, but they offer plenty of flexibility and have a high selling price. They are easy to steer and feature a large storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'. Do you have twins? Double buggys are the ideal method to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat. Do you have children? A younger sibling can feel like quite an overwhelming responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. A double buggy can make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when they become a 'big brother or sister' and help them get used to their new role. The side-by-side double buggies can be a great choice for twins since both children will share the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that expands the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet. We also recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This innovative buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it includes a number of thoughtful features to keep everyone happy. Do you require a travel system for your business? Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort, but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You might be able to get by with just one stroller, and some attachments like baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front. If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side, 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 between kerbs. Tandem buggies are small, with one seat at the front and a second one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies permit you to convert one stroller into double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your infant snuggled comfortably in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration – it could be used with twins, a toddler and one or more children with the optional PiggyBack Board. If your children have grown older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they might prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they might not always want to be in a buggy and can easily get tired and angry on longer outings. Before you decide to purchase a double buggy from birth make sure you think about the above points and the particular circumstances of your family. Having a solid and reliable double stroller will simplify life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
