Nine Things That Your Parent Teach You About Double Buggy From Birth

Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are a lot of aspects to consider. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her tips on everything from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage.

A must-have purchase for active families, this buggy grows with your family from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can tackle difficult terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do you prefer?

A double buggy is perfect for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams and have the ability to recline in each seat, so your children can lay down in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, fold up easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre using the folded wheels, and also to get out and into your car boot.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-by-side one, which you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a child yourself. They're ideal for older siblings or twins who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating options, including 'cinema seats'. They are usually simple to navigate, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they can effortlessly handle kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat sits behind the first, rather than on top of it. The seats are generally larger and heavier than a side by side, so you should check whether they are able to pass 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 board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair from birth then convert to a double buggy sale by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and a very high cost of resale. They are easy to steer and feature an ample storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best method of transporting your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double to single buggy buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits above the other, and side-byside buggies. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are typically wider overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.

Do you have a child?

A younger sibling can feel like quite an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the infant. They may also feel left out when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older sibling along, so having a double buggy from birth can make everything easier. It will aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great choice for twins since each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that can be expanded in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier.

Alternatively, we recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This clever buggy can start with an individual pushchair, but is then convertible into a double, which can include an additional seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it has lots of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require an effective system of travel for your business?

Double buggies can be a great way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't required for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your kids you may be able to make do with just a single stroller and certain attachments such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child around on their backs or in front of you.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats that are next to each other, which means your children will be able see each one another. However, these are generally larger than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact double stroller with a seat at the front and a second one at the back. However, they can be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform one stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. You can keep your child in the car seat until she is ready to grow double stroller to move to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more capable and able, you can get double buggys to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips where they might prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they may not prefer to ride in a buggy and can easily become disgruntled and tired when they are on longer excursions.

Before you decide to purchase a double twin stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's specific circumstances. Having a solid and reliable double stroller will simplify your life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
