Buying a Double Buggy From Birth There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from the time of birth. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options to age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space. A must-have investment for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's lightweight and movable, and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease. What type of buggy would you prefer? A double buggy is great for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. strollers double strollers , easy to fold and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you drive a lot it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded as well as to get it out and back into your car boot. You might have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers strollers or even in one as a kid. They're great for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They also come in a variety of seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. These are usually easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they will easily navigate the kerbs. Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first and not on top. They're typically wider than a side-by-side and can be a bit bulky when folded, so it's important to check they'll be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, three children with the addition of an additional 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 and side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and have a high resale price. They are easy to steer and feature large storage bins. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some even have a built-in ride-on board and '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 move them around. There are two types of double buggy: side-byside buggies that let your children are seated together and tandem buggies in which one child is higher than the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats. Do you have children? At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling may feel like a lot of responsibility, particularly if you're also caring for the baby. A double buggy may make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will also give your child an immense sense of pride when they get to be 'big brother or sister' and help them settle into their new role. The side-by-side double buggies can be a great option for twins, as both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet. We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who are keen to explore. This nifty buggy is a single pushchair which can be made 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 thoughtful features to keep everyone happy. Do you need a travel system? Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort, but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to make do with just a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you. There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children will be able to see one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies are small with a seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies are great because they allow you to convert your stroller to double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. You can keep your child in the car seat until he or is ready to step into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great illustration of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board. When your children become older and more capable, you can use a double buggy to accompany them to bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that your kids may not always enjoy being in a stroller, and may get tired and angry on longer outings. So, before you decide to purchase a double stroller from the beginning make sure you think about the above points and the specific circumstances of your family. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make your life simpler, especially when you have to navigate through busy streets or crowded malls.
