They might be a bit irritated if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling ahead and so having a double buggy from the start will make life easier.

Side-by-side buggies have the two seats near each other, which means your children will be able to see each other. They are wider than a single stroller and can be difficult to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option with a seat at the front and another at the back. However, they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they let you convert your stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. You can keep your child in the car seat until he/she is ready to step to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.

Before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the particular circumstances of your family.
