Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When you are deciding on the perfect double buggy, there are many 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 essential for active families. It grows with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and can handle uneven terrain easily.

What type of buggy would you like?

cheap double pushchair buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at a time, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage space to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, fold easily, and small enough to fit in the car boot. If you travel a significant amount, it's essential to check that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the folded wheels in your car boot and removed.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-byside, which you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs or even ridden in as a child. They are perfect for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating options and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you opt for a model that has soft suspension, make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option because they're easier to turn than side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat sits behind the first, instead of on top of it. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a 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, a baby or three children, with the addition of an extra buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single double stroller-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 generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a great return on investment. They are easy to steer and come with a large storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and "cinema seating" for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different ages, 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 are seated together, and tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are generally wider overall. They can also accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a baby?

A younger sibling can feel like an enormous responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the infant. They might also feel left out if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side and having a double buggy right from the beginning will make life simpler. It can aid your child in settling into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered to be the best choice for twins since they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE double travel buggy by Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who love to explore. This innovative buggy starts as a single pushchair and can be converted into a Nipper Double Buggy (Toptohigh.Com), which can include a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are excellent to transport your children 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 do with just a single stroller and certain attachments such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you.

If you do opt for a double buggy there are three kinds to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats that are near each other, meaning that your children will be able to see each other. However, they tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are an easier way to travel with a seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can still be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until he/she is able to climb up into the 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 the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children get older and more capable, you can use a double buggy to take them on cycling trips or other day trips in which they prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they might not always want to be in a buggy, and they could easily get tired and angry on longer outings.

Before you invest in a double push chair stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller will make life much easier, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
