Buying a Double Buggy From Birth There are plenty of things to take into consideration when choosing the perfect double buggy from birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her suggestions on everything from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage. A must-have investment for active families, this buggy grows with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's light and easy to maneuver and can tackle difficult terrain with ease. What type of buggy would you prefer? A double buggy is great for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also be used as prams. Each seat has a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. They also come with plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight that folds easily and are small enough to fit in the car boot. If you travel a lot deal, it's important to check that the buggy can be easily pushed around with the folded wheels in your car boot, and then removed. The most well-known type of double buggy is the side by side that you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins. They typically come with a large number of seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to choose from. These are usually easy to navigate, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle the kerbs. Tandem buggies are also a popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first instead of sitting on top of it. They're usually wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and a baby or three children with the addition of a buggy. 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 generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a great resale value. They are easy to steer and have a large storage basket. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have built-in ride-on boards and “cinema seating” for your child's older. Do you have twins? Double buggys are the most efficient method to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child is seated over the other, and side-byside buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However single to double pushchair -by-side buggies tend to be narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also be able to accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot. Do you have a child? At first the idea of having a younger sibling can feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the infant. They might also feel left out when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older sibling ahead and so having a double buggy from birth can make everything simpler. It can aid your child in settling into their new role as big brother or sister'. Side-by-side buggies can be a great choice for twins since both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with a unique frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options, including the second seat for the bassinet. We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who love to explore. This nifty buggy is a single pushchair that can be transformed into a double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it includes a number of thoughtful features to ensure that everyone is happy. Do you require a traveling system? Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren't required for every family. You could get by with just one stroller, and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you to travel on their backs or in front. If you decide to go with a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats that are next to each other, meaning that your children will be able to see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they can be still quite long and heavy to push. Convertible double buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your child in the car seat until he/she is able to climb into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board. When your children get older and more able to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to accompany them on bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they may not always desire to be in a buggy and could easily become disgruntled and tired during longer trips. So, before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth be sure to take a look at the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double buggy can make life easier, particularly when you have to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
