You might have seen this type of double buggy on other moms' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They're ideal for twins or older siblings who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating options, including 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to drive and, if you go for a model with a soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option because 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 wider and bulkier than a side by side and you must ensure that they will 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 to double buggy pushchair from birth then convert to a double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggie is the best way to move them around. There are two kinds of double buggy - side-by-side buggies where your children are seated side by side, and tandem buggies where one child is placed above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seats.

Do you have a baby?

At first, having a younger sibling can seem like a lot of responsibility, especially if you are also caring for the infant. They may be feeling a little secluded when they are in an infant carrier while you push the older sibling to the side and having a double buggy right from the beginning can make things simpler. It can also help your child settle into their new role as big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered to be the best compact double stroller choice for twins since they allow both children to enjoy the same view, but they can be hefty and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that can be expanded widthways to take two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are keen to explore. This buggy is clever and can start with an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a double by adding the place of a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require an effective travel system for your business?

Double buggies can be an ideal way to move your children in comfort. However they aren't necessary for every family. You might be able to get by with just a single stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in front.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats that are near each other, which means your children will be able see each other. However, they tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they can still be long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform one stroller into a double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This will allow you to keep your infant snuggled safely in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more capable, you can use double infant stroller buggys to accompany them to cycling trips or other day trips where they may prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that they may not desire to be in a buggy and could easily get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family's unique situation. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
