Buying a Double Buggy From Birth When you are deciding on the perfect double buggy, there are many aspects to consider. We spoke to 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 an essential item for active families. It will grow with your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can handle difficult terrain with ease. What kind of buggy would you prefer? A double buggy is great for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also be used as prams. cheap double pushchair is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, easy to fold and compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you drive a great amount, you should check that the buggy can be easily pushed around by folding the wheels into your car boot and removed. You might have seen this type of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They are perfect for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations such as 'cinema seats'. They are generally easy to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate kerbs. Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. This is because the second seat sits behind the first, rather than over it. They're typically bigger than a side-byside and can be a bit bulky when folded, so it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a baby and toddler 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-byside buggies, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium selling price. They're generally easy to steer, come with an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have an integrated ride-on board that can be used as 'cinema seating' for your older child. Do you have twins? If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggie is the best way to move them around. There are two main types of double buggy: side-by-side buggies in which your children sit side by side, and tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also be able to accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot. Do you have a child? At first having a younger sibling may feel like a lot of responsibility especially if you are also caring for the baby. They may also feel left out when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older sibling to the side, so having a double buggy from the start can make things simpler. It will aid your child in settling into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'. The side-by-side double buggies could be a great option for twins since each child will get the same view. However cheap double pushchair are heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens widthways to take two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier. We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore. This innovative buggy is a single-pushchair which can be made a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (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 need a travel system? Double buggies can be an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't required for every family. You could use a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby carriers and toddler straps that allow you and your child to travel on their backs or in front. If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three kinds to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats that are near each other, which means your children will be able to see each other. They are larger than a single stroller and aren't easy to navigate through the kerbs. Tandem buggies provide a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can be still quite long and heavy to push. Convertible double buggies are fantastic as they allow you to transform your single stroller into an additional buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This allows you to keep your infant snuggled in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic illustration of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board. When your children are older and have more stamina, a double buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day excursions where they prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your children might not always be comfortable in a stroller, and may become tired and disgruntled during longer trips. So, before you decide to invest in a double stroller from the beginning make sure you consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double buggy will make life easier, particularly when you have to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
