Buying a Double Buggy From Birth There are a lot of things to take into consideration when choosing the perfect double buggy from the moment of birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her advice on everything ranging from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage. A must-have purchase for families with active children This buggy can grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain with ease. What kind of buggy would you like? A double buggy is perfect for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking that the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the wheels folded and to take out and into your car boot. The most common type of double buggy is the side by side, which you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a child yourself. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you, or for twins and typically have a large number of seating configurations (including “cinema” seats) for your children to choose from. They're generally easy to steer and, if you go for a model with a soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a popular option since they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first and not on top. The seats are generally wider and bulkier than a traditional side by side however, so make sure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and 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're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and come with a premium cost of resale. They're generally simple to steer, feature an enormous storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema chairs'. Do you have twins? Double buggys are the ideal way to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically larger overall. They can also accommodate both an infant seat and a carrycot. Do you have children? Having a younger sibling can feel like an overwhelming responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the infant. They might be feeling a little secluded when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older one ahead and so having a double buggy right from the beginning will make life simpler. It can also help your child get into their new role as big brother or sister'. Double buggies that are side-by-side are often considered to be the best choice for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, but they can be hefty and heavy.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who love to explore. This clever buggy can start off as a single pushchair but is then convertible into a double by adding the place of a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model).

Double buggies can be an excellent way to transport your children safely. However they aren't necessary for every family. You could use one stroller with a few attachments, such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow 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 close to each other, which means your children will be able see each one another. However, they are typically larger than a single pushchair, and are difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a single seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can still be heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies permit you to transform a single stroller into a double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your infant snuggled safely in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat.
