Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are many aspects to consider. 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 essential for active families. It grows with your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight, has great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain easily.

What type of buggy do you prefer?


Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can also serve as prams. Each seat has a reclining mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight, easy to fold and small enough to fit into the car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability with the folded wheels and to take out and into your car boot.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They are perfect for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They also come in various seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. These are usually easy to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they will effortlessly handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option since they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first rather than on top. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby or three kids with the addition 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 or side-byside buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and have a high selling price. They're generally simple to steer, feature an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different ages, a double buggy is the best option to move them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, which have one child sitting over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider overall. They can also accommodate both seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have a baby?

Having a younger sibling can be an overwhelming responsibility initially, particularly when you must tend to the baby. twin stroller may be a bit irritated when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling along, so having a double buggy right from the beginning can make things simpler. It will also give your child a sense of pride as they become a 'big brother or sister' and help them settle into their role.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered to be the best choice for twins because they let both children enjoy the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy with an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options, including the second seat as an infant bassinet.

We also recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This clever buggy is a single pushchair that can be converted into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has lots of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children in comfort. However, twin pushchair are not necessary for every family. You could get by with just one stroller with a few attachments, such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to travel on their backs or in the front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are set in a row, so that your children will be able to be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and can be difficult to maneuver over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option with a seat at the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to convert a single stroller into a double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your baby safely in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children get older and more capable to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to take them to bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer to walk. But, it's important to remember that they may not desire to be in a buggy and can easily get tired and angry during longer trips.

So, before you decide to invest in a double buggy at the time of birth be sure to consider the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
