Buying a Double Buggy From Birth
When you are deciding on the perfect double buggy, there are plenty of things to consider. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options and age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.
This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and can handle uneven terrain easily.
What type of buggy would you like?
A double buggy is perfect for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams, and they have recline mechanisms in each seat, so your children can sit or lay down in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight that folds easily and are compact enough to fit into your car's boot. If you travel a significant amount, you should ensure that the buggy can be easily pushed around with the folded wheels in your boot and taken out.
The most common type of double buggy is the side-byside, which you've probably seen on other mums' pushchairs or even rode in as a child. They're ideal for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They also come in various seating configurations such as 'cinema seats'. They are usually simple to control, and if opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to effortlessly handle kerbs.
Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first rather than on the top. The seats are usually wider and bulkier than a traditional side by side, so you should check whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and three children, with the addition of a buggy board.
Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single to double buggy 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 or side-byside buggies, however they provide a lot of flexibility and have a high resale price. They're generally simple to steer, feature large storage bins and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and cinema seating for your older child.
Do you have twins?
If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies where your children sit in a row, side-by-side or tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.
Do you have a child?
At first, having a younger sibling may feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the baby. They might also feel left out when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling along, so having a double buggy from birth will make life easier. It can also help your child settle into their new role as big brother or sister'.
The side-by-side Double Buggy with car seat buggies can be a great choice for twins, since both children will share the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that expands widthways to take two fixed seats and offers different configuration options, including using the second seat as a bassinet or infant carrier.
We also recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This clever buggy is a single pushchair that can be converted into double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.
Do you need a travel system?
Double buggies can be a great way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However, they are not necessary for every family. You could use one stroller and some attachments such as baby carriers and toddler straps that allow your child and you to travel on their backs or in front.
There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children will be able to see one another. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are an easier way to travel with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can be still quite heavy and long to push.
Convertible double buggies permit you to transform one stroller into a double buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.
If your children have grown older and have more stamina, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they'd prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they may not desire to be in a buggy, and they could easily get tired and angry on longer outings.
Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double buggy can make life easier, especially when you need to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded malls.
