Buying a double buggy from birth - read,
There are plenty of things to take into consideration when choosing the perfect double buggy from birth. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options to age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.
This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.
What type of buggy do you want?
A double buggy is great for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with a reclining mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're typically lightweight, fold up easily and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded as well as to get it in and out of your boot.
The most popular type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've probably seen on other mums' pushchairs or even rode in as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who want to keep up with you, or for twins. They typically come with many seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your children to choose from. They're generally easy to drive and, if you opt for a model that has soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of kerbs.
Tandem buggies are a popular choice as they're typically more maneuverable than a side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first one, instead of over it. The seats are generally bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side however, so make sure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby or three children 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're more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and come with a premium cost of resale. They're generally easy to steer, come with large storage bins and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.
Do you have twins?
Double buggys are the ideal method of transporting your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies in which your children are seated side by side or tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.
Do you have one?
At first, having a younger sibling may seem like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the baby. A double buggy can also allow children to feel included when you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.
Side-by-side double jogging stroller buggies are usually considered the best lightweight double stroller option for twins as they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.
We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are keen to explore. This innovative buggy starts off as a single pushchair and it can then be converted into a double, which can include a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with a variety of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.
Do you require a traveling system?
Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort but they're not a necessary purchase for every family. You might be able to use one stroller with a few attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.
If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats near each other, so your children can see each one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and can be difficult to maneuver through the kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact with a seat at the front and another at the back. However, they can be heavy and long to push.
Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into best double buggy buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. You can keep your baby in the car seat until he/she she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.
Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or day trips where they might prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that your children might not always like to be in a stroller, and may become tired and disgruntled on longer outings.
Before you invest in a double stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
