This buggy is a must-have for active families. It will grow with your family from toddlers to twins. It is lightweight and movable, and can handle uneven terrain with ease. What kind of buggy do you want? Double buggys are great for transporting two children at a time, even if they are not the same age. They can be used as prams and come with recline mechanisms in each seat, so your children can sit or lie down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light that folds easily and are small enough to fit in the car boot. If you drive a great deal, it's important to ensure that the buggy can be easily pushed around with the wheels folded in your car boot and removed. You might have seen this kind of double buggy on other moms' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you, or for twins. They typically come with a large number of seating options (including “cinema” seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They're usually easy to drive and, if you go for a model with soft suspension, you can make light work of the kerbs. Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat is positioned behind the first, instead of on top of it. The seats are typically larger and heavier than a traditional 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 toddler, an infant or 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're generally more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and have a great return on investment. They are easy to steer and come with a large storage basket. They can also 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 best method of transporting your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, which have one child sitting over the other, and side by side buggies. double buggy converts to single pushchairsandprams.uk can be fitted with two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be larger overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat. Do you have one? A younger sibling can be an enormous responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the baby. A double buggy may allow children to feel included when you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when they are able to be “big brother or sister” and help them get used to their role. Side-by-side double buggies are often considered to be the best choice for twins because they allow both children to enjoy the same view, however they can be bulky 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 seats fixed and provides different configuration options, including using the second seat as an infant carrier or bassinet. We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to 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 the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has numerous thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy. Do you require a travel system? Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort however they're not the ideal 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 stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child around on their backs or in front of you. If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three kinds to choose from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats next to each other, so your children will be able to see each other. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are an easier way to travel with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can still be long and heavy 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. You can keep your baby in the car seat until he or she is ready to move to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great illustration 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 endurance, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they'd prefer to walk. It's important to remember that your children may not always enjoy being in a stroller and might be tired and irritable when they are on longer excursions. Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the factors above and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can make life much easier especially if you need to navigate busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
