Buying a Double Buggy From Birth There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from 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 a must-have for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's light and easy to maneuver and is able to tackle difficult terrain with ease. What kind of buggy do want? Double buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at the same time even if they're not the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight that folds easily and are small enough to fit in your car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded as well as to get it out and back into your car boot. The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side, which you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. They're ideal for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They also come in a variety of seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to steer and, if you decide to go for a model that has soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs. Tandem buggies are also a popular option because they're easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first rather than on the top. The seats are generally wider and bulkier than a side-by-side and you must ensure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a baby and toddler 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 a lot of flexibility and have a high selling price. They are easy to steer and feature an ample storage basket. They are also able to 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 buggie is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child is seated above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat. Do you have a baby? At first the idea of having a younger sibling may feel like a lot of responsibility particularly if you're also caring for the infant. They might also feel left out if they are placed in an infant carrier while you push the older one ahead and having a double buggy right from the beginning can make things easier. It can also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when they get to be 'big brother or sister' and help them adjust to their new role. The side-by-side double buggies could be a great choice for twins, as each child will get the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that opens in width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including using the second seat as a bassinet or infant carrier. pushchair twin recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who love to explore. This clever buggy can start with a single pushchair and is then convertible into a double, which can include a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy. Do you require an effective business travel system? Double buggies are excellent for transporting your children 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 make do with a single stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child around on their backs or in front of you. If you decide to go with a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are positioned side-by-side, so your children will be able to see one another. However, these are generally larger than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option with a seat in the front and a back seat. However, they can be heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies are great as they allow you to transform your single stroller into an additional buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. You can keep your baby in the car seat until he/she is able to climb into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this – it's suitable for twins, a baby and 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 bicycle rides or day trips where they'd prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always desire to be in a buggy and could easily be tired and disgruntled during longer trips. So, before you make the decision to buy a double buggy from birth make sure you consider the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life particularly if you have to navigate busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
