Buying a Double buggy from Birth, emplois.fhpmco.fr,

When choosing the perfect double infant strollers buggy, there are many things to take into consideration. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options and age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

A must-have for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight and movable, and is able to handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you prefer?

A double buggy is great for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also be used as prams and have the ability to recline within each seat, allowing your children can lie down in different positions. They also come with plenty of storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight they fold easily and are compact enough to fit into your car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability using the folded wheels, and also to get in and out of your boot.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a child yourself. They are ideal for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins and typically have numerous seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to pick from. They're generally easy to steer and, if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, you can make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular option since they're easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first, rather than on the top. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side, so you should check whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children, 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're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium resale price. They are easy to steer and have an ample storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some even have built-in ride-on boards and "cinema seating" for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best double stroller method to transport your children, regardless of 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-byside buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems are typically wider overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.

Do you have a child?

Having a younger sibling can be an overwhelming responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the infant. A double buggy can also make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with a sense of pride as they are able to be "big brother or sister" and help them adjust to their new role.

Side-by-side buggies can be a great choice for twins, as each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc which has an innovative frame that expands widthways to take two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, such as using the second seat as a bassinet or infant carrier.

We also recommend alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This innovative buggy starts as a single pushchair but can be converted into a double, taking an additional seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with many thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require a business travel system?

Double buggies are a great way to transport your children safely. However they aren't required for every family. You may be able make do with a single stroller, and some attachments like baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to travel on their backs or in the front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats positioned next to each other, meaning that your children can see each other. However, these are typically larger than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and another in the rear, however they can be still quite large and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they allow you to convert your single stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This way, you can keep your infant snuggled in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good example - it can be used with twins, a toddler and a baby 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 take them on bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that your kids may not always enjoy being in a stroller, and may become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

Before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A reliable and sturdy double buggy will make life easier, especially when you have to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
