14 Cartoons On Double Buggy From Birth That Will Brighten Your Day Buying a Double Buggy From Birth

There are a lot of things to consider when selecting the ideal 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 essential for active families. It grows with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain easily.

What type of buggy do you want?


Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at the same time, even if they are not of the same age. They can be used as prams and have recline mechanisms 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 wipes and nappies. They are often lightweight, fold easily, and small enough to fit in your car's boot. If you drive a great amount, it's essential to make sure that the buggy be easily pushed around with the wheels folded in your boot and taken out.

You might have seen this kind of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a child. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you, or for twins. They typically come with numerous seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your little ones to pick from. They're usually pretty easy to drive and, if you go for a model with soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat is positioned behind the first instead of on top of it. The seats are usually larger and heavier than a side by side, so you should check that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and 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 tend to be 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 have an ample storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient method of transporting your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two main types of double buggy - side-by-side buggies where your children are seated in a row, side-by-side, and tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have children?

A younger sibling can be an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. They may also feel left out if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling along and so having a double buggy right from the beginning can make everything easier. It will also give your child a sense of pride as they get to be "big brother or sister" and help them settle into their new role.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a good option for twins, since both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that expands widthways to take two seats fixed and provides different configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who love to explore. This clever buggy is a single-pushchair which can be made double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are great for bringing your kids around in comfort, but they're not a necessary purchase for every family. You could get by with just a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to ride on their backs or in front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are set in a row, so that your children will be able to be able to see each other. However, they tend to be wider than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option, with one seat in the front and another at the back. However, Push Chairs And Prams can be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your newborn snuggled up in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main 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 kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

As your children grow older and more capable and able, you can get double buggys to accompany them to bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer walking. However, it's worth remembering that they may not always desire to be in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired when they are on longer excursions.

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller will simplify your life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
