Buying a Double Buggy From Birth There are a lot of things to take into consideration when choosing the perfect double buggy from the moment of birth. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options, age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space. This buggy is essential for active families. It will grow with your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight, has great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain easily. What kind of buggy do want? Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at once even if they're not the same age. They can also serve as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, fold up easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded as well as to get it out and back into your car boot. You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mothers strollers, or even in one as a kid. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including “cinema” seats) for your children to pick from. They are generally easy to steer, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they can easily navigate the kerbs. Tandem buggies are also a popular option since they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat is positioned behind the first instead of over it. They're usually larger than a side-by-side, and can be bulky when folded, so it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and on public transport. Push Chairs And Prams can be used to transport twins or a toddler and baby or three kids with the addition of a buggy. 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 more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and a very high selling price. They are easy to steer and have a large storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema seats'. Do you have twins? Whether your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggy is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two main kinds of double buggy – side-by-side buggies in which your children sit together, and tandem buggies where one child is placed above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot. Do you have a child? At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling may feel like a lot of responsibility especially if you're caring for the baby. A double buggy can make it easier for them to feel included if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child get into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'. Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins as they allow both children to enjoy the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy that features an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options including using the second seat to create a bassinet. We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who are keen to explore. This innovative buggy starts with a single pushchair and is then convertible into a double, taking an additional seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and includes a number of clever features that will keep everyone happy. Do you require a travel system? Double buggies are ideal for transporting your children around in comfort but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids you might be able to make do with a single stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child on their backs or in front of you. There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats near each other, meaning that your children can see each other. They are larger than a single stroller and aren't easy to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact with a seat at the front and a back seat. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push. Convertible double buggies are wonderful because they allow you to convert your stroller to a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. You can leave your child in the car seat until is able to climb up into the buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration – it could be used for twins or a toddler, a baby or even three children using the optional PiggyBack Board. When your children are 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 walking. It is important to keep in mind that your kids may not always like to be in a stroller and could be tired and irritable during longer trips. Before you make the decision to buy a double buggy at the time of birth, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make life easier, particularly when you are required to navigate busy streets or crowded malls.
