Buying a Double Buggy From Birth There are many factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from birth. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options, age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space. This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can tackle difficult terrain with ease. What kind of buggy would you prefer? Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at once even if they're not the same age. They can also serve as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in different positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light, fold easily, and compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you drive a great amount, it's essential to ensure that the buggy can be easily moved with the wheels folded in your boot and taken out. You might have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers' strollers or even ridden in one as a child. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins. They typically come with numerous seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your little ones to choose from. They are usually simple to navigate, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle the kerbs. Tandem buggies are also a popular option since they're easier to turn than side-by-side. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first one, instead of over it. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a side by side and you must ensure whether they can fit through doors or on 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're generally more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and a high return on investment. They are easy to steer and come with large storage bins. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and cinema seating for your older child. Do you have twins? Double buggys are the most efficient method to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggy – side-by-side buggies in which your children are seated in a row, side-by-side and tandem buggies in which one baby is above the other. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats. Do you have children? Being a parent to a child can feel like an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the infant. A double buggy can also make it easier for children to feel included when you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child get into their new role of big brother or sister'. Side-by-side buggies can be a great choice for twins, as each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that can be expanded widthways to take two seats fixed. best double buggy offers various configuration options, such as using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet. We also recommend an alternative, 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 an additional seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone content. Do you require a travel system? Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort, but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids, you may be able to make do with just a single stroller and some attachments, such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you. There are three different types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children can be able to see each other. They are wider than a single stroller and can be difficult to maneuver through the kerbs. Tandem buggies offer a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can be still quite heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies permit you to convert one stroller into double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this – it's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board. If your children have grown older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they'd prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy, and they could easily be tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions. Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family's unique situation. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
