A must-have purchase for families with active children This buggy can grow with your family from twins to toddlers. It is light and movable, and can handle uneven terrain easily.

What style of buggy do you prefer?

A double buggy is great for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also function as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight that folds easily and are compact enough to fit into your car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking the buggy is easy to manoeuvre using the folded wheels, and also to get in and out of your boot.

You might have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers strollers or even in one as a kid. They are perfect for twins or older siblings who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They're usually pretty easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model that has soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are more simple to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first, rather than on the top. The seats are usually bigger and bulkier than a side by side however, so make sure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and three children by the addition of a twin buggy from birth 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 generally more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies, but they offer a lot of flexibility and a high return on investment. They are easy to steer and have an ample storage basket. They also have the ability to handle uneven surfaces. Some even have a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the best way to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits above the other, and side-byside buggies. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in size to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have a baby?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility particularly if you're also caring for the infant. A double buggy can also help them to feel a sense of belonging if you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great choice for twins, as each child will get the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that opens in width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, such as the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We also recommend the Mountain Buggy double buggy side by side Trailblazer for active families who like to explore. This innovative buggy is a single pushchair that can be converted into a double by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it has numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require an effective system of travel for your business?

Double buggies are excellent to transport your children around in comfort, but they're not a necessary purchase for every family. You might be able to get by with just one stroller, and some attachments such as baby straps and toddler carriers that allow your child and you to travel on their backs or in the front.

If you choose to purchase a double buggy there are three types to pick from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. The two seats are placed in a row, so that your children will be able to see one another. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair twin and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies provide a more compact alternative, with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they can still be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into a double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until is ready to grow double stroller to step into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration - it could be used for twins, a toddler and one or more children using the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children get older and more capable and able, you can get a double buggy to take them to bike rides or day excursions in which they prefer walking. It's important to keep in mind that your children may not always be comfortable in a stroller and might become tired and disgruntled during longer trips.

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's specific circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller (maps.google.com.sa says) can make life much easier especially if you need to navigate busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
