10 Signs To Watch For To Buy A Double Buggy From Birth
Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are plenty of things to take into consideration. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her advice on everything ranging from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage.

This buggy is a must-have for active families. It will grow with your family from toddlers to twins. It's light and easy to maneuver and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy do you prefer?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit in different positions. They also come with plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They are often lightweight that folds easily and are compact enough to fit into your car's boot. If you drive a great amount, it's essential to check that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the wheels folded in your boot and taken out.

nipper double buggy pushchairsandprams -known type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a child. These are great for older siblings who wish to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your toddlers to pick from. They're usually easy to steer and, if you go for a model with a soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also popular. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on top. They're generally bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, however they provide a lot of flexibility and a very high cost of resale. They're generally easy to steer, have large storage bins and can handle uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggie is the most efficient way to move them around. There are two primary types of double buggy: side-by-side buggies in which your children are seated together or tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies can accommodate two fixed seats. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a toddler seat and a carrycot.

Do you have one?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling may feel like a lot of responsibility particularly if you're also taking care of 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 can also give your child the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they become a "big brother or sister" and help them settle into their role.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a good option for twins, as both children will have the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens in width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides different configuration options, including using the second seat as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore. This nifty 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 perfect for rough terrain and it has lots of clever features that will ensure that everyone is happy.


Do you require a travel system for your business?

Double buggies can be a great way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your kids you may be able to do using a single stroller with certain attachments such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child on their backs or in front of you.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side by side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats that are near each other, which means your children will be able to see each other. They are larger than a single stroller and aren't easy to navigate through kerbs. Tandem buggies are an easier way to travel with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they can be still quite large and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are wonderful as they allow you to transform your single stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your infant snuggled safely in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent example of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.

As your children grow older and more mobile to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to take them on bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they might not always want to be in a buggy and could easily get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A reliable and sturdy double buggy will make life easier, especially when you have to navigate busy streets or crowded malls.
