24 Hours For Improving Double Buggy From Birth
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 suggestions on everything from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage.

This buggy is a must-have for active families. It will grow with your family from toddlers to twins. It is lightweight, has great maneuverability and is able to handle uneven terrain easily.


What kind of buggy would you prefer?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at the same time even if they're not the same age. They can be used as prams, and they have a reclining mechanism within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lie down in different positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, fold easily and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a significant deal, it's important to check that the buggy can be easily moved with the folded wheels in your car boot, and then removed.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mums strollers, or even in one as a kid. They're great for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They are usually simple to control, and if opt for a model with a soft suspension, they will easily handle kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. The second seat is located behind the first and not on top. The seats are generally larger and heavier 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, an infant or three children, with the addition of an additional 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 they offer a lot of flexibility and have a great price for resales. They are easy to steer and come with a large storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have a built-in ride-on board and "cinema seating" for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggie is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two main types of double buggy : side-by-side buggies in which your children sit together and tandem buggies in which one child is placed above the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems are typically larger overall. They can also accommodate both an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a child?

Having a younger sibling can feel like quite a big responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the baby. They might be a bit irritated when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older one ahead, so having a double buggy from birth can make everything easier. It will aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered the best option for twins since they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be bulky and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens widthways to take two fixed seats and offers different configuration options, including using the second seat as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore. This nifty buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone happy.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort but they're not essential for every family. You may be able use one stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to travel on their backs or in the front.

If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three types to pick from: side-by-side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children can see each other. However, they are typically larger than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact, with one seat at the front and another at the back. However, they can be heavy and difficult to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your baby 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 or a 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 bike rides or other day trips where they'd prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always want to be in a buggy and could easily get tired and angry during longer trips.

So, before you make the decision to buy a double buggy at the time of birth be sure to think about the above points and your family's specific circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller will simplify your life especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
