What type of buggy do you prefer?

A double pushchair with car seat buggy is ideal for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also be used as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit in different positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space to store everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, easy to fold and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking that the buggy's ease of use with the folded wheels as well as to get it out and back into your boot.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side, which you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs or even ridden in as a child yourself. They're great for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating configurations such as 'cinema seats'. These are usually easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily navigate kerbs.

Tandem buggies are a popular option since they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first instead of sitting over it. They're typically larger than a side-by-side, and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby 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-byside buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and come with a premium resale price. They are easy to steer and have an ample storage basket. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some come with a built-in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate both seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have one?

Having a younger sibling can feel like quite a big responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. A double buggy can allow them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when 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 are heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy with a unique frame that expands in width and can accommodate two seats fixed.

If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three kinds to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children will be able to see each other. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair, and are difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact with a seat at the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

It's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children are older and have more endurance, a double jogging stroller-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they'd prefer walking.
