Buying a double buggy for twins Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of things to take into consideration when choosing the ideal double buggy right from the moment of birth. 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.

This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do want?

Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at a time, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are often lightweight that folds easily and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you travel a significant amount, it's essential to check that the buggy can be easily maneuvered by folding the wheels into your car boot, and then removed.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you, or for twins and typically have numerous seating options (including "cinema" seats) for your toddlers to pick from. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you go for a model with a soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option since they're easier to turn than side-by-side. This is because the second seat sits behind the first one, rather than over it. They're usually larger than a side-by-side, and can be bulky when folded, which is why it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or 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 stroller 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 and tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and have a great price for resales. They're generally easy to steer, come with a huge storage basket and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the best way to move them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, which have one child sitting above the other, and side-byside buggies. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also be able to accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a baby?

At beginning having a younger sibling could seem like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the baby. A double buggy can make it easier for them to feel included if you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins as they allow both children to enjoy the same view, but they can be hefty and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that can be expanded widthways to take two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including using the second seat as an infant carrier or bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This clever buggy can start with an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a nipper double buggy, which can include a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone happy.

Do you require an effective business travel system?

Double buggies are ideal to transport 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 make do with a single stroller and certain attachments such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that allow you to ferry your child on their backs or in front of you.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats that are close to each other, which means your children will be able to see each other. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair, and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option, with one seat at the front and a back seat. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert a single stroller into Double pram for toddler and Newborn buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. You can keep your child in the car seat until is ready to step up into the buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example - it can be used for twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more able and able, you can get a double pushchair buggy to accompany them to bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they may not always prefer to ride in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired on longer outings.

Before you decide to invest in a double stroller from the beginning, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify life especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
