Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

When you are deciding on the perfect double buggy, there are plenty of things to take into consideration. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options, 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 and has great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do want?

A double buggy is great for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit and stand double stroller (look at this web-site) or lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight they fold easily and are compact enough to fit into the car boot. If you drive a lot it's important to make sure the buggy's ease of use with the wheels folded and to take out and back into your boot.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side-by-side, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs or even ridden in as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have many seating options (including "cinema" seats) for your children to choose from. They're usually easy to steer and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than side-by-side. This is because the second seat is placed behind the first, instead of on top of it. The seats are usually wider and bulkier than a side-by-side however, so make sure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and three children with the addition of a buggy board.

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 more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, however they provide a lot of flexibility and come with a premium cost of resale. They are easy to steer and come with a large storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient way to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits above the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically wider overall. They can also be able to accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a child?

Being a parent to a child can be a big responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the infant. They may also feel left out if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older one ahead and having a double buggy from birth can make everything simpler. It can also help your child get into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great option for twins since both children will have the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy with an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also provides a variety of configuration options including using the second seat for a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and like to explore. This innovative buggy starts off as a single pushchair but can be converted into a double, which can include a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough all terrain double stroller, and it comes with many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone happy.

Do you require an effective system of travel for your business?

Double buggies can be an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However, they are not 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 your child and you to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy there are three types to choose from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats next to each other, meaning that your children will be able to see each other. However, these are typically larger than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies provide a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can be still quite heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they allow you to convert your stroller to double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. You can keep your child in the car seat until is ready to step 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 children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more capable to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to accompany them on bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy and could easily be tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family's unique situation. Having a solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life particularly if you have to travel through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
