Buying a Double Buggy From Birth When you are deciding on the perfect double buggy, there are a lot of aspects to consider. 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 purchase for active families This buggy can grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight and movable, and can handle uneven terrain with ease. What type of buggy would you prefer? A double buggy is great for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also be used as prams and have recline mechanisms within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lie down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight, fold easily and compact enough to fit in the car boot. If twin pushchair drive a great amount, you should check that the buggy can be easily moved by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out. The most popular type of double buggy is the side by side that you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a kid. They're ideal for twins who are older or who want to keep pace with you. They also come in various seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. These are usually easy to steer, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they will easily navigate the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first one, instead of sitting over it. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier 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, a toddler and 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're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-byside buggies, however they provide a lot of flexibility and a very high resale price. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema seats'. Do you have twins? If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the most efficient way to move them around. There are two primary kinds of double buggy – side-by-side buggies in which your children are seated side by side, and tandem buggies where one child is placed above the other. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be smaller in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats. Do you have a baby? At first the idea of having a younger sibling can feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the baby. They may also feel left out when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling ahead, so having a double buggy from birth can make things simpler. It will also give your child a sense of pride as they are able to be “big brother or sister” and help them settle into their role. The side-by-side double buggies could be a good option for twins, since both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier. Alternatively, we recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This nifty buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable. Do you require a travel system? strollers double strollers are excellent to transport your children around in comfort, but they're not a necessary purchase for every family. You might be able to make do with a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby carriers and toddler straps that allow you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in front. There are double strollers of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats that are near each other, which means your children will be able see each one another. However, these are generally larger than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies offer a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can be still quite heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they let you convert your stroller to a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. You can leave your child in the car seat until he or is able to climb to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent illustration of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby 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 day trips where they'd prefer to walk. It's important to remember that your children may not always like to be in a stroller, and may get tired and angry during longer trips. Before you decide to purchase a double stroller from the beginning make sure you consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. Having a solid and reliable double stroller will make life much easier especially if you need to travel through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
