Buying a Double Buggy From Birth
There are plenty of factors to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from the moment of birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her tips on everything from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage.
A must-have purchase for families with active children, this buggy grows with your family from twins to toddlers. It is light and movable, and can handle uneven terrain with ease.
What type of buggy would you like?
Double buggys are great for transporting two children at once, even if they are not of the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat has a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. They also come with plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight that folds easily and are compact enough to fit into your car's boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking that the buggy's ease of use using the folded wheels, and to take out and back into your boot.
You might have seen this kind of double buggy on other mums strollers or even in one as a child. They are perfect for older siblings or twins who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're usually pretty easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with a soft suspension, you can make light work of 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 rather than on top. They're generally larger than a side-by-side, and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids 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 are generally more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and have a great return on investment. They are easy to steer and come with 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?
Double buggys are the most efficient way 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 side by side, and tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.
Do you have a child?
At first the idea of having a younger sibling can feel like a lot of responsibility especially if you're caring for the infant. They might be a bit irritated if they are placed in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling ahead and so having a double buggy from the start can make things easier. It will also help your child get into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.
Side-by-side buggies can be a good option for twins since both children will have the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various 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 are keen to explore. This clever buggy can start with a single pushchair and it can then be converted into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). double pram pushchair pushchairsandprams is perfect for rough terrain and includes a number of clever features that will keep everyone happy.
Do you require an automated system of travel for your business?
Double buggies can be a great way to transport your children safely. However they aren't required for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to make do with a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you.
If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three kinds to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are positioned parallel to each other, so your children can see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and may be difficult to maneuver through kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact that has one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push.
Convertible double buggies permit you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your baby in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example of this - it can be used for twins or a toddler, a baby or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.
As your children grow older and more able to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to take them on bicycle rides or for day trips where they might prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they may not always prefer to ride in a buggy and can easily get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.
Before you purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's unique situation. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can make life much easier especially if you need to travel through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
