When it comes to choosing the ideal double buggy, there are many aspects to consider. We spoke to Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options, age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

A must-have purchase for active families, this buggy grows with your family from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and can tackle difficult 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 the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in different positions. Many have ample storage for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight twin buggy, fold up easily and are small enough to fit into the car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability using 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 one, which you've probably seen on other mothers' pushchairs or even rode in as a kid. They're great for twins or older siblings who want to keep up with you. They also come in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to drive and, if you opt for a model with soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also popular. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on top. They're generally larger than a side-by-side, and can be bulky when folded, which is why it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and an infant or three children with the addition of an extra 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 tend to be more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and a high price for resales. They are easy to steer and have large storage bins. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have built-in ride-on boards and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

double pushchairs buggys are the most efficient way to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary types of double buggy - side-by-side buggies in which your children sit side by side, and tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies can be fitted with two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also be able to accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot.

Do you have a child?

A younger sibling can feel like quite an overwhelming responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the baby. A double buggy can make it easier for them to feel included if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child settle into their new role of big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double buggies are often considered to be the best choice for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be heavy and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that opens in width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who are active and like to explore. This clever buggy is a single-pushchair which can be made double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough all terrain double buggy and comes with a variety of clever features that will ensure that everyone is happy.

Do you require a travel system for your business?

Double buggies are excellent for bringing your kids around in comfort, but they're not essential for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids you may be able to get by with a single stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler harnesses that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you.

There are three kinds of double prams for toddlers (his comment is here) buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children will be able to see one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and aren't easy to maneuver around the kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and a second hand double buggy in the rear, but they can be still quite heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into a double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up comfortably in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example of this - it can be used for twins or a toddler, an infant, or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.

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

So, before you decide to purchase a double stroller from the beginning be sure to consider the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family. A durable and reliable double buggy will make life easier, especially when you have to navigate busy streets or crowded malls.
