Buying a double to single buggy (My Site) Buggy From Birth

When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are a lot of things to take into consideration. 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.

This buggy is an essential item for active families. It grows with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It is lightweight twin stroller and movable, and is able to handle uneven terrain easily.

What kind of buggy would you like?

A double stroller with infant car seat buggy is perfect for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams and come with a reclining mechanism in each seat so your children can sit or lie down in different positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They are usually light, fold easily, and small enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a great deal, it's important to ensure that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the folded wheels in your car boot and removed.

The most common type of double buggy is the side by side one, which you've probably seen on other mothers' pushchairs or even rode in as a child. 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 control, and if choose a model with a soft suspension, they can easily navigate the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option because they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first and not on top. The seats are typically wider and bulkier than a side-by-side however, so make sure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant or three children with the addition of an additional buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double buggy with car seat' 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 tend to be more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a great price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggy is the best way to transport them around. There are two main types of double pushchair buggy: side-by-side buggies where your children sit in a row, side-by-side and tandem buggies in which one child is placed above the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be smaller in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have one?

At first having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the infant. A double buggy can help them to feel included if you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. 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.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins since they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be bulky and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc that features an innovative frame that expands in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options, including using the second seat as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We also recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This clever buggy is a single pushchair that can be transformed into a double single pushchair by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require a system of travel for your business?

Double buggies are great for transporting your children around in comfort but they're not essential for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your children you might be able to do with a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry 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 have the two seats that are near each other, which means your children will be able to see each other. However, these are generally larger than a single pushchair, and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, but they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they let you convert your stroller to a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This will allow you to keep your baby safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration - it could be used for twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day excursions where they prefer to walk. It's important to remember that your kids may not always like to be in a stroller and could become tired and disgruntled during longer trips.

Before you decide to purchase a double buggy from birth be sure to consider the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A sturdy and reliable double buggy will make life easier, especially when you need to navigate through busy streets or busy malls.
