Don't Buy Into These "Trends" Concerning Double Buggy From Birth
Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are plenty of 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.

A must-have purchase for active families This buggy can grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and can tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What style of buggy do want?

A double buggy is great for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can be used as prams and have a reclining mechanism in each seat, so your children can lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight, fold easily, and compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the folded wheels and also to get out and into your car boot.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other moms' strollers or even ridden in one as a child. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins and typically have a large number of seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your little ones to pick from. These are usually easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they will easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also popular. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first one, instead of sitting on top of it. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a side by side, so you should check that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and three children 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 are generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and have a great resale value. They're generally easy to steer, come with an enormous storage basket and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some even have 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 of different age groups, a double buggie is the most efficient way to move them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits over the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have children?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling could feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the baby. A double buggy may help them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great option for twins, as both children will share the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with an innovative frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options including using the second seat as the bassinet.

We also recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This clever buggy can start off as an individual pushchair, but is then convertible into a double, taking the place of a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). double buggy with carrycot is perfect for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone content.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are great to transport 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 permit you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in front.

There are lightweight twin buggy of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are positioned side-by-side, so your children can see each other. They are larger than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate around the kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an alternative that is smaller, with one seat in the front and one in the rear, but they are still heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they let you convert your stroller into an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up comfortably in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great illustration of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day trips where they might prefer to walk. But, it's important to remember that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy and could easily be tired and disgruntled during longer trips.


Before you make the decision to buy a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you think about the above points and your family's specific circumstances. A reliable and sturdy double buggy will make life easier, particularly when you need to navigate through busy streets or busy malls.
