A must-have investment for active families This buggy can grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It is lightweight, has great maneuverability and is able to handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy do want?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at the same time even if they're not of the same age. They can also function as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit n stand double stroller 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. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a lot amount, it's essential to ensure that the buggy can be easily pushed around by folding the wheels into your car boot and removed.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside, which you've probably seen on other mothers' pushchairs or even rode in 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 configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They're usually easy to drive and, if you go for a model with soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first, instead of on top of it. They're usually wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, which is why it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a baby and toddler or three children with the addition of a buggy.

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 generally more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and a high price for resales. They are easy to steer and come with a large storage basket. They are also able to 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?

If your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggie is the best way to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits over the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have children?

At first, having a younger sibling may feel like a lot of responsibility especially if you're taking care of the baby. They may be a bit irritated when they are in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side and having a double buggy right from the beginning can make everything simpler. It will aid your child in settling into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great choice for twins, as both children will have the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy that features an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also provides a variety of configuration options including using the second seat to create an infant bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain twin buggy from birth Double Trailblazer to families who are keen to explore.

Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone content.

Do you require a travel system?

Double buggies can be a great way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to do using a single stroller with some attachments like baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child around on their backs or in front of you.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy there are three types to pick from: side-by-side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are set in a row, so that your children will be able to be able to see each other. They are wider than a single stroller and may be difficult to maneuver over kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an easier way to travel with a seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they can be still quite heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic as they allow you to transform your single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This will allow you to keep your newborn snuggled up in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children get older and more mobile and able, you can get a double buggy to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips where they might prefer to walk. It is important to keep in mind that your children may not always like to be in a stroller, and may be tired and irritable when they are on longer excursions.

So, before you make the decision to buy a smallest double buggy buggy from birth make sure you take a look at the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. Having a sturdy and reliable double single pushchair stroller can make life much easier, especially if you need to navigate busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
