Buying twin pushchair From BirthThere are a lot of things to take into consideration when choosing the perfect double buggy from the time of 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.This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.What style of buggy do you prefer?A double buggy is ideal for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams and come with a reclining mechanism within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, fold easily and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you travel a lot amount, you should check that the buggy can be easily moved with the folded wheels in your boot and taken out.The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've probably seen on other mums' pushchairs or even rode in as a child yourself. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins. They typically come with many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to pick from. They are usually simple to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate the kerbs.Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on top. They're typically wider than a side-by-side and can be heavy when folded, so it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant or three children, with the addition of an additional 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 and tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a great resale value. They're generally simple to steer, feature an enormous storage basket and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have an integrated ride-on board that can be used as 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 way to move them around. There are two types of double buggy: side-byside buggies that let your children are seated together, and tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies are able to accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.Do you have children?A younger sibling can feel like quite an overwhelming responsibility initially, particularly when you must tend to the infant. They might also feel left out when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older one to the side and so having a double buggy from birth will make life simpler. It will also give your child an immense sense of pride when they become a 'big brother or sister' and help them adjust to their new role.Side-by-side buggies can be a great option for twins, since each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that expands widthways to take two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and like 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 smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and it has lots of thoughtful features to ensure that everyone is happy.Do you require a business travel system?Double buggies can be an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to do with a single stroller and certain attachments such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child on their backs or in front of you.There are three types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children will be able to be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies offer a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and another in the rear, however they can still be heavy and long to push.Convertible double buggies are great as they allow you to transform your single stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until he/she is ready to step to the buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example - it can be used for twins or a toddler, an infant, or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.As your children grow older and more capable, you can use a double buggy to accompany them on bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy and could easily get tired and angry on longer outings.So, before you decide to purchase a double buggy from birth make sure you think about the above points and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
