How To Solve Issues Related To Double Buggy From Birth
Buying a Double Buggy From Birth
When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are a lot of things to consider. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her tips on everything from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage.
This buggy is essential for active families. It grows with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and movable, and can maneuver through uneven terrain easily.
What type of buggy would you prefer?
Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at a time, even if they are not of the same age. They can also serve as prams. Each seat has a reclining mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight they fold easily and are small enough to fit in your car's boot. If you travel a significant amount, it's essential to check that the buggy can be easily moved by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out.
You might have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers strollers double strollers, or even in one as a child. These are great for older siblings who wish to keep up with you, or for twins. They typically come with many seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They are generally easy to steer, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they can easily navigate kerbs.
Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. This is because the second seat sits behind the first, instead of sitting on top of it. They're typically bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children, with the addition of an extra buggy board.
Lastly there are the'single-to-double buggy for twins' 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 and side-by-side buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and come with a premium selling price. They're generally easy to steer, come with a huge storage basket and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some models come with a built-in ride-on boards for older children and 'cinema chairs'.
Do you have twins?
Double buggys are the ideal method of transporting your children, no matter if 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 buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally larger overall. They can also accommodate both seats for toddlers and a carrycot.
Do you have a baby?
At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling could seem like a lot of responsibility especially if you're caring for the infant. They may be a bit irritated if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side, so having a Double Pram Stroller buggy from the start can make things easier. It can also provide your child with a sense of pride as they are able to be 'big brother or sister' and help them adjust to their role.
Side-by-side buggies can be a great option for twins, as each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides different configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.
We also recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This innovative buggy starts off as a single pushchair but it can then be converted into a double, which can include the place of a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has numerous thoughtful features that will ensure that everyone is happy.
Do you require a system of travel for your business?
Double buggies can be an ideal way to move your children safely. However they aren't required for every family. You could make do with a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby carriers and toddler straps that allow your child and you to travel on their backs or in the front.
There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children can see each other. However, they are typically larger than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are small, with one seat in the front and a back seat. However, they can be heavy and long to push.
Convertible double buggies are great because they allow you to convert your stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your infant snuggled in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent example of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler 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 desire to be in a buggy, and they could easily be tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.
So, before you decide to purchase a stokke double stroller buggy at the time of birth make sure you think about the above points and the particular circumstances of your family. Having a solid and reliable double stroller will make life much easier especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
