There are two primary kinds of double buggy - twin which is where your children are side-by-side, and tandem, where one seat is placed in front of the other. A twin buggy has the primary advantage that children can interact instead of fighting over who sits in the front. However, twins tend to be wider and can be difficult to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles.

Tandem buggies are generally smaller however they're still more than single models. They're also less stable when going up kerbs, and may require dismantling to fit in your car's boot. Reclining the seat independently is now a fairly standard feature on most double pram stroller buggies, so do ensure that the model will let you adjust each child's seat to the position they're most comfortable in.

Comfort

A well-designed double buggy should offer both children and parents plenty of comfort. Look out for padding on the straps, how much recline each seat can do and if the seats are independently adjustable so that you can adjust them as your children grow. Check the weight limits too and whether they both have a sun canopy or a hood to shield the seats from rain and wind.

Consider the use of a baby carrier as an alternative to a double stroller. They are great for toddlers who want to walk, but still need the comfort of a ride. They are also great for infants and newborns. Some carriers can be used in conjunction with the car seat for greater flexibility.

Some parents find that a side-by-side double buggy is the most practical option. However there are a few innovative models on the market, like the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxurious in herringbone. It is the thinnest double stroller Travel System buggy side by side on the market.

The Wave tandem buggies from Mamas & Papas are another smart choice. They come with more configuration options than other tandem buggies. It's designed as an uni-pedestrian pushchair. Later, you can add a second seat or carrycot (and sometimes a third one) to the frame using adaptors, giving you a wide range of seating arrangements.

You just pull up on two straps (one under each seat) and the whole unit folds in a matter of seconds.
