Buying a Double Buggy From Birth
When choosing the perfect double 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 to age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.
This buggy is essential for active families. It will grow with your family from toddlers to twins. It is lightweight with great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain with ease.
What type of buggy would you like?
A double buggy is great for transporting two children, 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 different positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space 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 the car boot. If you drive a lot it’s important to make sure the buggy’s ease of use using the folded wheels, as well as to get it out and into your car boot.
You might have seen this type of double buggy on other moms strollers, or even in one as a child. They are perfect for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating options and styles, including ‘cinema chairs’. These are usually easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle kerbs.
Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. The second seat is located behind the first rather than on top. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side and you must ensure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and a 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and a very high resale price. They’re generally easy to steer, come with a huge storage basket and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have built-in ride-on boards and ‘cinema seating’ for your child’s older.
Do you have twins?
Double buggys are the most efficient method of transporting your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two main types of double buggy: side-by-side buggies in which your children are seated together or tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. 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 seat.
Do you have one?
At beginning having a younger sibling can seem like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the baby. A double buggy may allow them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will also give your child an immense sense of pride when they become a ‘big brother or sister’ and help them adjust to their new role.
The side-by-side double buggies can be a great option for twins since each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that can be expanded the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, such as using the second seat as an infant carrier or bassinet.
Alternatively, we recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This clever buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into a double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it includes a number of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.
Do you require an automated travel system for your business?
Double buggies are ideal for transporting your children around in comfort, but they’re not the ideal purchase for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children, you may be able to do with a single stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child on their back or in front of you.
If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats that are close to each other, which means your children will be able see each other. However, these are typically larger than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option that has one seat in the front and another at the back. However, they can be heavy and long to push.
Convertible double buggies permit you to transform a single stroller into a double buggy by securing an infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they’re ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent illustration of this. It’s suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.
Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they might prefer to walk. It’s important to keep in mind that your children may not always enjoy being in a stroller and might be tired and irritable during longer trips.
So, before you make the decision to buy a double buggy from birth (theweddingresale.com) be sure to take a look at the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A durable and reliable cheap double buggy buggy can make life easier, especially when you have to navigate through busy streets or crowded malls.
