A double buggy is ideal for transporting two children, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also function as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit in different positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, fold up easily and small enough to fit into the car boot. If you travel a lot amount, you should check that the buggy can be easily maneuvered by folding the wheels into your car boot and removed.

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 are ideal for older siblings who wish to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have many seating options (including "cinema" seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They're usually easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with a soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of kerbs.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggy is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be smaller in width for getting through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seat.

Being a parent to a child can feel like quite an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the infant. 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 can aid your child in settling into their new role of a 'big sister or brother'.

They are larger than a single stroller, and may be difficult to maneuver over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are small with a seat at the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert a single stroller into double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your baby in the car seat until he/she is able to climb into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent illustration of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.

It's important to keep in mind that they may not desire to be in a buggy and could easily become disgruntled and tired during longer trips.

Before you decide to purchase a double single pushchair stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's specific circumstances. A solid and reliable double stroller can simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
