Buying www.pushchairsandprams.uk From Birth
There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from the time of birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her advice on everything ranging from seating options and age groups, to folding mechanisms and storage.
This buggy is an essential item for active families. It will grow with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's light and easy to maneuver and can handle difficult terrain with ease.
What kind of buggy do want?
Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at once, even if they are not the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a significant deal, it's important to check that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the folded wheels in your car boot and removed.
You might have seen this kind of double buggy on other moms strollers or even in one as a child. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins and typically have numerous seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to pick from. They are generally easy to navigate, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they can effortlessly handle the kerbs.
Tandem buggies are a popular option since they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is positioned behind the first, rather than on top. The seats are generally larger and heavier 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, a baby and toddler or three children with the inclusion 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 or tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and have a great resale value. They're generally simple to steer, feature large storage bins and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema chairs'.
Do you have twins?
Whether your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the best way to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits above the other, and side by side buggies. 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 tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate a toddler seat and a carrycot.
Do you have one?
Having a younger sibling can be an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the baby. A double buggy can also allow children to feel included when you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child settle into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.
Side-by-side double buggies are often considered the best option for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy with an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat for a bassinet.
If you prefer, we suggest the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families that love to explore. This clever buggy is a single-pushchair that can be converted into double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and it includes a number of clever features that will keep everyone happy.
Do you need a travel system?
Double buggies can be an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However, they are not necessary for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids, you may be able to do with just a single stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you.
If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side by side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are positioned parallel to each other, so your children can see each other. However, they tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an alternative that is smaller, with one seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they are still long and heavy to push.
Convertible double buggies are wonderful because they let you convert your stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your newborn snuggled up safely in their car seat until they're ready to 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 addition of the optional PiggyBack board.
Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day excursions where they prefer walking. But, it's important to remember that they may not prefer to ride in a buggy and could easily be tired and disgruntled during longer trips.
So, before you make the decision to buy a double stroller from the beginning be sure to think about the above points and the specific circumstances of your family. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make life easier, especially when you have to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded malls.
