What kind of buggy would you prefer?

A double buggy is ideal for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also be used as prams and have a reclining mechanism within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lie down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight twin buggy, fold easily and are small enough to fit into your car boot. If you travel a lot amount, you should make sure that the buggy be easily moved with the folded wheels in your car boot, and then removed.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mums strollers or even in one as a kid. They are perfect for older siblings or twins who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They are generally easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they will easily handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. This is because the second seat sits behind the first, instead of sitting on top of it. They're usually bigger than a side-byside and can be heavy when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and three children with the addition of an extra 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 plenty of flexibility and a very high resale price.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, which have one child sitting above the other, and side-byside buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seat.

Do you have a toddler?

Being a parent to a child can be an enormous responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the baby. They might be feeling a little secluded when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older one to the side and so having a double buggy from birth can make everything simpler. It will also help your child get into their new role of big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered the best double stroller option for twins since they allow both children to have the same view, but they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with an innovative frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options, including the second seat for an infant bassinet.

Alternatively, we recommend an alternative, the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This buggy is clever and can start off as a single pushchair double but can be converted into a double by adding a second seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and comes with a variety of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children safely. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your kids you may be able to make do using a single stroller with some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child around on their backs or in front of you.

If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three types to pick from: side-by-side as well as convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats next to each other, meaning that your children can see each other. They are wider than a single stroller and aren't easy to navigate over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option, with one seat in the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and difficult to push.

Convertible double buggies permit you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your baby in the car seat until he or she is ready to move up into the 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 kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more capable to walk, you can opt for double single pushchair buggys to accompany them on bike rides or day excursions where they may prefer to walk. It's important to remember that your children may not always enjoy being in a stroller, and may get tired and angry during longer trips.

Before you purchase a double stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double buggy can make life easier, especially when you have to navigate through busy streets or busy malls.
