Buying a Double Buggy From Birth There are plenty of things to consider when selecting the ideal 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 essential for active families. It grows with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and is able to tackle uneven terrain easily. What kind of buggy do want? Double buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used 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 are small enough to fit into the car boot. If you travel a lot deal, it's important to check that the buggy can be easily pushed around by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out. You might have seen this kind of double buggy on other moms strollers, or even in one as a child. These are great for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins and typically have a large number of seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your little ones to pick from. They are usually simple to steer, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they can easily navigate kerbs. Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. This is because the second seat is placed behind the first one, instead of over it. The seats are generally bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side and you must ensure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant or three children by the addition of an extra 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 tend to be more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of versatility and a good price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, come with large storage bins and can handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema chairs'. Do you have twins? Whether your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggy is the best way to move them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child is seated over the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are typically larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat. Do you have a child? At beginning double pram and pushchair of having a younger sibling can feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the infant. A double buggy can help them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they get to be '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 since they allow both children to enjoy the same view, but they can be heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that can be expanded the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, such as using the second seat as a bassinet or infant carrier. We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start as an individual pushchair, but is then convertible into a double by adding an additional seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable. Do you need a travel system? Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't necessary for every family. You could get by with just one stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you to travel on their backs or in front. If you choose to purchase a double buggy there are three kinds to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats positioned close to each other, which means your children can see each other. They are wider than a single stroller, and aren't easy to maneuver over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can still be large and heavy to push. Convertible double buggies permit you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by securing an infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your baby comfortably in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example of this – it can be used for twins as well as a toddler and a baby or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board. As your children grow older and more able and able, you can get a double buggy to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips in which they prefer to walk. It is important to keep in mind that your children may not always enjoy being in a stroller, and may be tired and irritable during longer trips. Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the factors above and your family's unique circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
