Buying a double buggy from birth - Going at Yogicentral,

There are plenty of factors to consider when selecting the perfect double buggy from 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 a must-have for active families. It grows with you and your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight and has great maneuverability and is able to tackle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do you prefer?

Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at a time even if they're not of the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat is equipped with 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. Often they're lightweight double stroller, fold up easily and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you're a frequent driver, it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability using the folded wheels, and also to get out and back into your boot.

The most common type of double buggy is the side by side that you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs or even ridden in as a kid. They're ideal for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you opt for a model that has soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular option because they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on the top. The seats are usually wider and bulkier than a traditional side by side, so you should check whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler 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 more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and have a high cost of resale. 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 board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.

Do you have twins?

double pram and pushchair buggys are the best way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child is seated over the other, and side-byside buggies. Both 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 in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.

Do you have a baby?

Having a younger sibling can feel like quite an enormous responsibility initially, particularly when you must tend to the infant. They might be a bit irritated when they are in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side, so having a double buggy from birth will make life easier. It can aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

The side-by-side double stroller with bassinet buggies can be a good option for twins, since both children will share the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including using the second seat as baby carrier or a bassinet.

If you prefer, we suggest an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start with a single pushchair and can be converted into a double by adding the place of a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone happy.

Do you require an automated system of travel for your business?

Double buggies are great for transporting your children around in comfort but they're not essential twin strollers for newborns every family. You may be able get by with just one stroller, and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that permit your child and you to ride on their backs or in front.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side by side as well as convertible. The two seats are set parallel to each other, so your children will be able to see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option, with one seat at the front and another at the back. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to transform a single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your newborn snuggled up comfortably in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration - it could be used with twins or a toddler, an infant, or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.

As your children grow older and more capable and able, you can get double buggys to accompany them to bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that your kids may not always be comfortable in a stroller, and may get tired and angry on longer outings.

Before you decide to purchase a double buggy from birth, take some time to think about the above points and the specific circumstances of your family. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify your life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
