Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are a lot of things to consider. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options to age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

A must-have investment for active families, this buggy grows with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you like?

A double buggy is great for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams, and they have the ability to recline within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and are small enough to fit into the car boot. If you drive a great deal, it's important to check that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the folded wheels in your boot and taken out.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mothers strollers, or even in one as a child. They are perfect for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They are generally easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they will easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. This is because the second seat is placed behind the first one, instead of on top of it. The seats are usually larger and heavier than a traditional side by side, so you should check that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby or three children with the inclusion 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 and side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and have a high selling price. They are easy to steer and feature an ample storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Do double buggy newborn have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient method to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary 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 child is higher than the other. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in size to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate both a toddler seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a toddler?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling can seem like a lot of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the infant. A double buggy can also allow children to feel included when you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered the best option for twins because they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that opens in width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who love to explore. This innovative buggy starts off as an individual pushchair, but is then convertible into a double, taking a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that will keep everyone content.

Do you require a travel system?


Double buggies are excellent for transporting your children around in comfort but they're not essential for every family. You might be able to get by with just one stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that allow you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are set in a row, so that your children can be able to see each other. However, they are typically larger than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option, with one seat at the front and a back seat. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert a single stroller into a double buggy by securing an infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until he/she is ready to step 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 kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more mobile and able, you can get double buggys to accompany them on bicycle rides or for day trips where they may prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your children might not always enjoy being in a stroller and could be tired and irritable when they are on longer excursions.

So, before you decide to invest in a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you take a look at the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
