When it comes to choosing the ideal Double pram buggy buggy, there are plenty of things to consider. 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.
This buggy is a must-have for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain easily.
What type of buggy do you want?
A double buggy is perfect 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 an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are often lightweight, fold easily, and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a great amount, it's essential to make sure that the buggy be easily moved with the wheels folded in your boot and taken out.
You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other moms strollers double strollers, or even in one as a kid. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins and typically have a large number of seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to choose from. They are usually simple to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they can easily navigate kerbs.
Tandem buggies are another popular option since they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat is placed behind the first one, instead of over it. The seats are usually bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side, so you should check that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and 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 simple to steer, feature a huge storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have an integrated ride-on board that can be used as 'cinema seating' for your child's older.
Do you have twins?
Double buggys are the best travel double stroller method to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two main types of double buggy: side-byside buggies that let your children are seated in a row, side-by-side or tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be smaller in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also accommodate a toddler seat and a carrycot.
Do you have a child?
At first, having a younger sibling can feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the infant. They might also feel left out when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling ahead and having a double buggy from the start will make life easier. It will also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when they are able to be "big brother or sister" and help them adjust to their new role.
Side-by-side buggies can be a good option for twins, as each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that expands widthways to take two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier.
We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and are keen to explore. This clever buggy can start with a single pushchair and it can then be converted 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 includes a number of clever features that will ensure that everyone is happy.
Do you require a travel system?
Double buggies are ideal for transporting your children around in comfort however they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You might be able to get by with just one stroller and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to travel on their backs or in the front.
If you do opt for a double buggy there are three kinds to choose from: side by side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats next to each other, which means your children will be able to see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact that has one seat at the front and a back seat. However they can be quite heavy and difficult to push.
Convertible double buggies are great because they allow you to convert your single stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until he/she she is ready to move into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration - it could be used for twins or a toddler, one or more children using the optional PiggyBack Board.
When your children become older and more mobile, you can use a double buggy with carrycot buggy to accompany them to bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that your children may not always like to be in a stroller and might become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.
So, before you make the decision to buy a double stroller from the beginning, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. Having a sturdy and reliable double twin stroller with car seats will simplify your life especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
