Buying a Double Buggy From Birth
When you are deciding on the perfect double infant strollers buggy, there are plenty of things to consider. We spoke with 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 with great manoeuvrability and can tackle difficult terrain with ease.
What type of buggy do you want?
Double buggys are perfect for transporting two children at the same time even if they're not of the same age. They can be used as prams and come with a reclining mechanism in each seat, so your children can sit or lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space to store 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're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the folded wheels as well as to get it out and into your car boot.
The most compact double stroller common type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs or even ridden in as a child. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have a large number of seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to pick from. They're generally easy to steer and, if you go for a model with soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.
Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first rather than on top. They're typically wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and three children with the addition of an additional 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 umbrella stroller by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They are generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a great resale value. They're generally easy to steer, come with an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.
Do you have twins?
Double buggys are the most efficient way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.
Do you have a toddler?
Being a parent to a child can feel like quite a big responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the infant. A double strollers with peek-a-boo windows buggy may allow them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.
Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered to be the best twin stroller choice for twins as they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy with an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options including using the second seat as the bassinet.
We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore. This nifty buggy is a single pushchair which can be made double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has lots of thoughtful features to ensure that everyone is happy.
Do you require an automated travel system for your business?
Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort however they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You may be able use one stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that permit you and your child to ride on their backs or in the front.
There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children can see one another. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can still be heavy and long to push.
Convertible double buggies allow you to transform one stroller into a double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your baby in the car seat until he/she is able to climb to the buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent illustration - it could be used for twins or a toddler, an infant, or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.
If your children have grown older and have more stamina, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or 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 they could easily get tired and angry during longer trips.
Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family's unique situation. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
