The No. 1 Question Everyone Working In Double Buggy From Birth Should Be Able To Answer
Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from birth. 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.

A must-have purchase for families with active children This buggy can grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight, has great maneuverability and can maneuver through 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 function as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold easily and are small enough to fit into your car boot. If you drive a great amount, you should check that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the wheels folded in your car boot and removed.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-byside, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs or even ridden in as a child yourself. They're ideal for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They are usually simple to control, and if choose a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by sides, are also very popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first rather than on top. double pushchair are typically wider and bulkier than a side-by-side however, so make sure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children by 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 more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and a very high cost of resale. They're generally easy to steer, have large storage bins and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have built-in ride-on boards and "cinema seating" for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal method of transporting your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits above the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have a child?

At beginning, having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility, particularly if you're also caring for the baby. They might be a bit irritated when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older one ahead and so having a double buggy from the start can make things simpler. It can also give your child an immense sense of pride when they are able to be "big brother or sister" and help them get used to their role.

Side-by-side buggies can be a good option for twins since each child will get the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc which has an innovative frame that expands the width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a 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 a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone content.

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

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't necessary for every family. You might be able to make do with one stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to travel on their backs or in the front.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats that are near each other, so your children will be able see each other. They are larger than a single stroller, and aren't easy to maneuver over the kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an easier way to travel with one seat in the front and one in the rear, but they can still be large and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are wonderful because they allow you to convert your stroller to double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. You can keep your baby in the car seat until he/she she is ready to move into the buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example of this - it can be used with twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children with 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 walking. It's important to remember that your kids may not always like to be in a stroller and could become tired and disgruntled during longer trips.

Before you invest in a double stroller, think about the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
