Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from birth [https://easybookmark.Win/]. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options to age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

A must-have for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight, has great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain easily.

What kind of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at a time, even if they are not the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, fold easily and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a great deal, it's important to make sure that the buggy be easily pushed around by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side by side, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs, or perhaps 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 and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first rather than on the top. They're generally bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, so it's important to check they'll be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler or three children with the addition of a buggy.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single and double stroller pushchair from birth then convert to a double 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 offer lots of flexibility and a high return on investment. They're generally easy to steer, have a huge storage basket and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggie is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two types of double buggy: side-by-side buggies where your children are seated together and tandem buggies in which one baby is above the other. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.

Do you have a child?

Being a parent to a child can feel like quite an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. A cheap double pushchair buggy can also help them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered to be the best compact double stroller choice for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, but they can be heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides different configuration options, including using the second seat as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who like to explore. This best twin buggy is clever and can start off as a single 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 comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require an effective business travel system?

Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children safely. However they aren't necessary for every family. You may be able get by with just one stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit you and your child to ride on their backs or in front.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem double buggy, side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats near each other, which means your children will be able to see each other. However, they are typically larger than a single pushchair, and are difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an easier way to travel with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform one stroller into a double buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your baby safely in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent example of this - it's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

As your children grow older and more capable and able, you can get a double buggy to take them on cycling trips or other day trips where they may prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they may not always prefer to ride in a buggy and can easily become disgruntled and tired on longer outings.

So, before you decide to invest in a double stroller from the beginning make sure you take a look at the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double buggy will make life simpler, especially when you need to navigate through busy streets or crowded malls.
