Where Do You Think Double Buggy From Birth Be 1 Year From Now?

Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are many factors to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from the time of birth. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options and age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

This buggy is an essential item for active families. It grows with your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight with great maneuverability and is able to handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you like?

A nipper double buggy buggy is perfect for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit 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, fold easily, and compact enough to fit in your car's boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking that the buggy's ease of use using the folded wheels, and to take out and back into your boot.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs or even ridden in as a kid. They are perfect for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They also come in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They're usually easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. The second seat is located behind the first, rather than on the top. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be bulky when folded, so it's important to check they'll fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and three children, with the addition of an extra buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a Single to double pushchair 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 or side-byside buggies, but they offer plenty of flexibility and come with a premium cost of resale. They're generally easy to steer, have an enormous storage basket and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on board for older children and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggie is the best option to move them around. There are two types of double buggy: side-byside buggies that let your children sit together or tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a toddler seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a child?

At beginning, having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're taking care of the baby. They might be feeling a little secluded if they are placed in a baby carrier as you push the older one along and having a double buggy from the start can make everything easier. It will also give your child the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they are able to be "big brother or sister" and help them settle into their new role.

Side-by-side buggies can be a great option for twins, since 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 can be expanded the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and like to explore. This nifty buggy is a single-pushchair that can be converted into double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone content.

Do you require an automated business travel system?

Double buggies are excellent to transport your children around in comfort however they're not the ideal purchase for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids you may be able to make do using a single stroller with some attachments like baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child around on their back 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 positioned near each other, so your children can see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair, and are difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact, with one seat at the front and a second one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert a single stroller into a double buggy by securing the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your child in the car seat until he/she she is ready to move up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

As your children grow older and more capable, you can use double buggys to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips where they may prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your children might not always enjoy being in a stroller double and might get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's specific circumstances. A reliable and sturdy double seat stroller buggy can make life easier, particularly when you need to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
