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.This buggy is a must-have for active families. strollers double strollers will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It is light with great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.What type of buggy do you want?A double buggy is great for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you travel a significant deal, it's important to ensure that the buggy can be easily maneuvered by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out.You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers strollers, or even in one as a kid. They're ideal for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're usually easy to drive and, if you go for a model that has soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides, are also popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat sits behind the first instead of over it. They're generally wider than a side-by-side and can be heavy when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and baby or three kids with the addition of a 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 generally more expensive than side-by-sides or tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and a high return on investment. They are easy to steer and feature an ample storage basket. They are also able 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?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 is seated over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.Do you have a baby?At first the idea of having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility, particularly if you're also taking care of the baby. They may also feel left out when they are in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side and so having a double buggy from the start can make everything simpler. It will also help your child settle into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that can be expanded widthways to take two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier.We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore. This clever buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (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 travel 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 a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that permit you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in front.If you do opt for a double buggy there are three kinds to pick from: side-by-side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats positioned close to each other, so your children can see each other. They are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to maneuver through the kerbs. Tandem buggies provide a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can still be long and heavy to push.Convertible double buggies permit you to convert one 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 she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example - it can be used with twins as well as a toddler and one or more children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.When your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day excursions where they prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they may not prefer to ride in a buggy and can easily become disgruntled and tired on longer outings.Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
