Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of things to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from birth. We spoke to 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 purchase for families with active children This buggy can grow 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 kind of buggy do you prefer?

A double buggy is great for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, fold up easily and are small enough to fit into your car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre using the folded wheels, and to take out and back into your car boot.

You might have seen this kind of double buggy on other mums strollers or even in one as a child. They are ideal for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They are usually simple to control, and if opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first rather than on the top. They're generally bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, which is why it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and an infant or 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're more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and have a high cost of resale. They're generally simple to steer, feature an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient method to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem double stroller buggies which have one child sitting over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have a toddler?

At beginning having a younger sibling may feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, particularly if you're also caring for the infant. They may be feeling a little secluded when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older one to the side and so having a double buggy from the start can make things simpler. It will also give your child the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they become a 'big brother or sister' and help them adjust to their new role.

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

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who love to explore. This innovative buggy starts with a single pushchair and can be converted into a double by adding the place of a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren't required for every family. You could get by with just one stroller and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to ride on their backs or in the front.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children can see one another. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are small with a seat at the front and a second one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and long to push.

Convertible double travel stroller buggies are wonderful because they let you convert your stroller to an additional buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until he or she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example of this - it can be used with twins or a toddler, one or more children using the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children get older and more able, you can use double car seat stroller buggys to accompany them to bicycle rides or for day trips where they might prefer walking. It's important to remember that your kids may not always enjoy being in a stroller and could become tired and disgruntled during longer trips.

Before you decide to purchase a double pushchair from birth stroller from the beginning make sure you think about the above points and the particular circumstances of your family. Having a solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
