A Delightful Rant About Double Buggy From Birth
Buying a Double Buggy From Birth
There are plenty of things to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her advice on everything ranging from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage.
A must-have purchase for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's lightweight and movable, and can handle uneven terrain easily.
What kind of buggy do you prefer?
Double buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not of the same age. They can be used as prams and have recline mechanisms within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lay down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight double pushchair, fold easily and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking the buggy's ease of use with the folded wheels as well as to get it in and out of your boot.
The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side one, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. They are ideal for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have a large number of seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They're usually easy to steer and, if you decide to go for a model that has soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of the kerbs.
Tandem buggies are also a popular option because 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 rather than over it. The seats are generally bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side however, so make sure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, a baby or three children with the addition of an additional 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 tandem pushchair by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're generally more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies but provide plenty of versatility and a good return on investment. They're generally simple to steer, feature a huge storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.
Do you have twins?
If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the best option to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits over the other, and side-byside buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies are typically narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.
Do you have children?
At first having a younger sibling can seem like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the baby. A double stroller for twins buggy can also make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also provide your child with a sense of pride as they get to be "big brother or sister" and help them settle into their new role.
The side-by-side double buggies could be a great option for twins since both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek strollers double strollers buggy with an innovative frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also comes with a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat as a bassinet.

Double buggies are great for bringing your kids around in comfort however they're not a necessary purchase for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids you may be able to do with just a single stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you.
If you do opt for a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: side-by-side as well as convertible. The two seats are positioned side-by-side, so your children will be able to see one another. They are wider than a single compact twin stroller and can be difficult to maneuver over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are small that has one seat at the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and lengthy to push.
Convertible double buggies are wonderful because they allow you to convert your stroller to double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This will allow you to keep your infant snuggled safely in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration - it could be used for twins, a toddler and an infant, or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.
When your children become older and more capable to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips where they might prefer walking. However, it's worth remembering that they may not want to be in a buggy and can easily get tired and angry on longer outings.
Before you decide to purchase a double buggy from birth make sure you consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller will simplify life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
