Solutions To Issues With Double Buggy From Birth

Buying a Double Buggy From Birth
When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are many aspects to consider. 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 purchase for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain easily.
What type of buggy do you want?
Double buggys are great for transporting two children at once, even if they are not the same age. They can also function as prams. double pram and pushchair comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit in different positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They are often lightweight they fold easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a significant deal, it's important to ensure that the buggy can be easily moved by folding the wheels into your car boot, and then removed.
You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers strollers, or even in one as a child. These are great for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins and typically have many seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to pick 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, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first, rather than on the top. The seats are usually wider and bulkier than a side by side and you must ensure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant or three children by 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 they offer a lot of flexibility and a high return on investment. They are easy to steer and have a large storage basket. They are also able to 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 most efficient way 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 is seated over the other, and side-byside buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seats.
Do you have children?
Being a parent to a child can feel like a big responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the baby. A double buggy can also make it easier for children to feel included when you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.
Side-by-side buggies can be a great option for twins since each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens widthways to take two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options, including the second seat being used as a bassinet or infant carrier.
If you prefer, we suggest the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start as an individual pushchair, but is then convertible into a double by adding a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and has lots of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.
Do you require a travel system?
Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to make do with just a single stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler harnesses that allow you to ferry your child on their back or in front of you.
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 positioned close to each other, meaning that your children will be able see each other. They are larger than a single stroller and can be difficult to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option, with one seat at the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push.
Convertible double buggies are fantastic as they allow you to transform your stroller to an additional buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This way, you can keep your baby in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this - it's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.
If your children have grown older and have more stamina, a double buggy can also be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day trips where they might prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy and could easily become disgruntled and tired when they are on longer excursions.
Before you purchase a double stroller, think about the above factors and your family's unique circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify your life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
