Buying double strollers From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are plenty of things to consider. 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 grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's light and easy to maneuver and can tackle difficult terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you prefer?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting two children at once even if they're not the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with a reclining mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight, fold easily and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you drive a great amount, you should ensure that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the wheels folded in your car boot and removed.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs or even ridden in as a kid. They're great for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to drive and, if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is positioned behind the first and not on the top. The seats are typically wider and bulkier than a side by side, so you should check whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler 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're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer plenty of flexibility and have a high selling price. They are easy to steer and feature an ample storage basket. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.


Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggie is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies where your children are seated together, and tandem buggies where one child is placed above the other. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width for getting through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seat.

Do you have one?

At first, having a younger sibling could seem like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you are also taking care of the baby. A double buggy can allow them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also give your child a sense of pride as they are able to be 'big brother or sister' and help them adjust to their new role.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered the best option for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with a unique frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options including using the second seat as an infant bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This nifty buggy is a single pushchair which can be made double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features numerous thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

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

Double buggies are ideal for transporting your children around in comfort but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You might be able to use one stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to ride on their backs or in front.

If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three types to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are placed in a row, so that your children can see each other. However, these are typically larger than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies provide a more compact alternative, with a single seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can still be large and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they let you convert your stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. You can leave your child in the car seat until he or she is ready to move up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great 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 capable and able, you can get double buggys to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips where they might prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they may not prefer to ride in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired on longer outings.

Before you decide to invest in a double stroller from the beginning, take some time to think about the above points and the specific circumstances of your family. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make life easier, especially when you are required to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded malls.
