Buying a Double Buggy From Birth<br /><br />There are many factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy from birth. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options, age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.<br /><br />This buggy is a must-have for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It's light and easy to maneuver and is able to tackle uneven terrain easily.<br /><br />What kind of buggy would you like?<br /><br />A double buggy is perfect for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're typically lightweight, easy to fold and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you travel a significant amount, it's essential to check that the buggy can be easily moved with the folded wheels in your car boot, and then removed.<br /><br />You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other moms' strollers or even ridden in one as a child. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins and typically have many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your children to choose from. These are usually easy to steer, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they will easily handle kerbs.<br /><br />Tandem buggies are a popular option since they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first rather than on the top. They're typically bigger than a side-byside and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children, with the addition of a buggy board.<br /><br />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 offer lots of flexibility and have a great resale value. They are easy to steer and feature large storage bins. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.<br /><br />Do you have twins?<br /><br />Double buggys are the best method of transporting 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 by side buggies. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems tend to be more spacious overall. They can also accommodate both a toddler seat and a carrycot.<br /><br />Do you have a child?<br /><br />At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling could seem like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, especially if you are also taking care of the baby. A double buggy can also help them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.<br /><br />The side-by-side double buggies can be a good option for twins, since both children will have 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 in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.<br /><br />We also recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. <a href="https://www.pushchairsandprams.uk/categories/double-pushchairs">cheap double pushchair www.pushchairsandprams.uk</a> is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into a double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone content.<br /><br /><br /><br />Do you require an automated system of travel for your business?<br /><br />Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in comfort. However, they are not necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your kids you may be able to do using a single stroller with some attachments like baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child around on their backs or in front of you.<br /><br />If you decide to go with a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are set parallel to each other, so your children will be able to see one another. However, they tend to be wider than a single pushchair, and are difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an easier way to travel with one seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can be still quite large and heavy to push.<br /><br />Convertible double buggies are wonderful because they allow you to convert your stroller to a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This will allow you to keep your newborn snuggled up comfortably in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good example - it can be used with twins, a toddler and one or more children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.<br /><br />Once your children are older and have more stamina, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day excursions where they prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they may not prefer to ride in a buggy and could easily become disgruntled and tired on longer outings.<br /><br />Before you invest in a double stroller, take into consideration the factors above and your family's unique circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can make life much easier, especially if you need to navigate busy streets or crowded shopping centres.<br /><br />
