Buying a Double buggy from birth - https://christensen-stephansen-2.technetbloggers.de -

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

This buggy is essential for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It is light with great maneuverability and is able to handle uneven terrain easily.

What type of buggy do you prefer?

A double buggy is ideal 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 an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight that folds easily and are compact enough to fit into your car's boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking that the buggy's maneuverability with the folded wheels and to take out and back into your boot.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mothers' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. These are great for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have numerous seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to choose from. They're usually easy to drive and, if you go for a model with a soft suspension, make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option because they're easier to turn than side-by-side. The second seat is positioned behind the first and not on top. The seats are typically larger and heavier than a side-by-side however, so make sure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and 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 tend to be more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and a high price for resales. They are easy to steer and feature a large storage basket. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with an integrated ride-on board that can be used as cinema seating for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggy: side-by-side buggies where your children are seated side by side and tandem buggies in which one child is placed above the other. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seat.

Do you have a child?

Having a younger sibling can feel like an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the infant. A double buggy may help them to feel included if you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a great choice for twins, as both children will share the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that can be expanded the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

If you prefer, we suggest an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start as an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a double, taking a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has lots of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are excellent for transporting your children around in comfort however they're not a necessary purchase for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids you may be able to get by with a single to double pushchair stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers that allow you to ferry your child on their back or in front of you.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats near each other, which means your children will be able see each one another. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair twin and are difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are an alternative that is smaller, with one seat in the front and one 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 stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your newborn snuggled up in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example - it can be used for twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.

When your children get older and more capable and able, you can get a double buggy to take them to cycling trips or other day trips where they may prefer walking. It's important to remember that your children may not always like to be in a twin stroller with car seats and could be tired and irritable on longer outings.

Before you decide to invest in a double buggy at the time of birth be sure to consider the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A solid and reliable double stroller will simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
