Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are plenty of factors to consider when selecting the perfect cheap double pushchair buggy from the moment 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.

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

What kind of buggy would you like?

Double buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at a time even if they're not of the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light that folds easily and are small 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 wheels folded as well as to get it out and into your boot.

You might have seen this type of double pushchair for newborn and toddler buggy on other mums strollers, or even in one as a child. They are ideal for older siblings that want to keep up with you, or for twins and typically have numerous seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to choose from. They are generally easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they can easily handle 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. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side and you must ensure whether they are able to pass through doors or 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 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-by-side buggies, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium resale price. They are easy to steer and have an ample storage basket. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and "cinema seating" for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the best option to transport them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting over the other, and side-byside buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seat.

Do you have a child?

Being a parent to a child can be a big responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. They might be a bit irritated when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older one to the side and so having a double buggy from the start will make life simpler. It will also help your child get into their new role as big brother or sister'.

Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered the best option for twins as they allow both children to enjoy the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that can be expanded the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

If you prefer, we suggest the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This buggy is clever and can start with an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a double, which can include the place of a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that will keep everyone content.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort but they're not essential for every family. You could use a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby carriers and toddler straps that allow you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in front.

If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three types to pick from: side-by-side as well as convertible. The two seats are positioned parallel to each other, so your children can be able to see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact twin stroller option that has one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and difficult to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform a single stroller into a double buggy by securing an infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good example of this - it can be used for twins or a toddler, an infant, or even three children using the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children get older and more capable and able, you can get double pram pushchair buggys to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips where they might prefer walking. However, it's worth remembering that they may not always want to be in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired on longer outings.

Before you purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's specific circumstances. Having a solid and reliable double stroller will simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
