What type of buggy would you like?


Double buggys are great for transporting two children at once, even if they are not of the same age. They can be used as prams and come with recline mechanisms within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They are usually light that folds easily and are compact enough to fit in your car's boot. If you drive a great amount, it's essential to ensure that the buggy can be easily pushed around with the wheels folded in your boot and taken out.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They are perfect for twins or older siblings who want to keep up with you. They also come in a variety of seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. These are usually easy to navigate, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they will easily handle kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular option because they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat sits behind the first, rather than over it. The seats are generally bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side, so you should check that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and 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 are generally more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of versatility and a good price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have an integrated ride-on board that can be used as cinema seating for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal method of transporting your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child is seated above the other, and side by side buggies. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have a child?

Being a parent to a child can feel like a big responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. A double buggy can allow them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a great option for twins since both children will have the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy that features an innovative frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also comes with a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat as an infant bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This nifty buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and includes a number of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require an effective system of travel for your business?

Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children in a comfortable way. However, they are not necessary for every family. You could make do with one stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler straps that allow your child and you to travel on their backs or in the front.

If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three kinds to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats next to each other, which means your children will be able see each one another. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can still be large and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they let you convert your single stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your baby safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration - it could be used for twins, a toddler and one or more children using the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children get older and more capable to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to accompany them on bicycle rides or for day trips where they may prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always desire to be in a buggy and can easily be tired and disgruntled on longer outings.

Before you make the decision to buy a double buggy from birth, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double buggy can make your life easier, especially when you are required to navigate busy streets or overcrowded malls.
