Buying a tandem double buggy; Willysforsale officially announced,
A tandem double buggy could be a fantastic option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as doorways, on public transport and on rocky terrain.
Some convert into travel systems to include two carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.
Convertible
Whether you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be changed from a single to a double buggy for twins by adding an Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is positioned behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.
Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can hold two kids. They are more expensive, but they are made for long trips on rough terrain and have more expensive resales.
Independent recline of the seat
If you're looking for a double buggy for twins buggy that is able to transport children of different ages, you'll need a buggy that has an recline independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest while the baby is in a bassinet and vice versa.
Think about the width of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to get through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.
Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as difficult to maneuver around kerbs however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age. They are also more expensive than single to double buggies but they're well worth it if you plan on keeping it for many years. They also hold an impressive amount of value if sold when your children have outgrown it.
Another thing to look out for is if the seat backs can recline independently of each other because this allows you to place your child in the best position to nap or observe. This is important if your child is in the back seat and would like to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit and observe the surrounding.
Some brands feature a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position which is perfect for newborns. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the included toddler seat and the additional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so that your children have a the option of deciding where they will sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

They are perfect for siblings of different ages, and you can get around without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little bit longer with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined completely for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.
A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake that is useful when tackling steep hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and can be paired with a range of car seats and carrycots.
The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just a single click. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent option for older siblings that wish to sit together and share the view. It's slightly larger than other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for kerbs.

They are often folded into one buggy in case you have a small space at home or need to transport it from your car to the bus.
Be aware that a double-wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want before you buy. You'll be taking it off and on subways, trains and buses regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You may also need to move it on and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to ensure it can be easily manoeuvred in small spaces.
From your birth, you are an ideal candidate
Whether you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely to require an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. double stroller buggies tend to be slightly heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, however they are also easier to manoeuvre in narrower entrances or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through a separate accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at once.
Tandem pushchairs double seat one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option when you have two children who are close enough in age to function well. But they're not foolproof Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and children with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the back. Your child's older one isn't seated at the lowest part of the car and won't be able ready to grow double stroller get an eye.
