A must-have purchase for families with active children, this buggy grows with your family from twins through to toddlers. It is light with great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do want?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at a time even if they're not the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit n stand double stroller or lie down in different positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They're typically Lightweight Twin Buggy, easy to fold and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you travel a lot amount, it's essential to check that the buggy can be easily moved with the wheels folded in your boot and taken out.

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

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides, are also popular. This is because the second seat sits behind the first, instead of sitting over it. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side however, so make sure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and baby or three children with the addition of a buggy board.

Lastly there are the'single-to-cheap double buggy' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair double 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, however they provide the flexibility of a single buggie and have a high selling price. They are easy to steer and have an ample storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with a built-in ride-on board and cinema seating for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the ideal method to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits above the other, and side-byside buggies. Both will accommodate 2 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 or toddler seats.

Do you have a child?

At first, having a younger sibling can seem like a lot of responsibility particularly if you're also taking care of the baby. A double buggy can help children to feel included when you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they get to be "big brother or sister" and help them get used to their role.

Side-by-side buggies can be a great option for twins, as both children will share the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens widthways to take two seats fixed. It also offers various 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 nifty buggy is a single pushchair that can be converted into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone happy.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies can be a great way to transport your children in comfort. However they aren't required for every family. You could get by with just one stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit you and your child to travel on their backs or in front.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are set side-by-side, so your children will be able to see one another. However, they are typically larger than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies provide a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can be still quite long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform one twin stroller into a double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your baby comfortably in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this - it's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.

Once your children are older and have more endurance, a thule double stroller-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bike rides or day trips where they might prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that your kids may not always like to be in a stroller and might be tired and irritable on longer outings.

Before you invest in a double stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's unique situation. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
