This buggy is an essential item for active families. It grows with your family, from twins to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and is able to tackle uneven All Terrain Double Buggy with ease.

What style of buggy do want?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting up to two children at a time, even if they are not the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat comes with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and are small enough to fit into your car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking the buggy is easy to manoeuvre with the folded wheels as well as to get it out and back into your car boot.

The most common type of double buggy is the side by side that you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child. They are ideal for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you decide to go for a model that has soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first and not on the top. They're generally wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, which is why it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and a baby or three children with the inclusion of a 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're more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and have a high resale price. They're generally simple to steer, feature large storage bins and can handle uneven surfaces. Some even have built-in ride-on boards and cinema seating for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient way to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits over the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have children?

At first the idea of having a younger sibling could seem like a lot of responsibility, especially if you are also taking care of the baby. A double buggy can also make it easier for them to feel included if you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role as big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a great choice for twins, as both children will have the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE double buggy for twins from Leclerc with its innovative frame that can be expanded widthways to take two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who are keen to explore. This innovative buggy starts as an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a double, taking an additional seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and has lots of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require an automated business travel system?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children safely. However they aren't necessary for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children, you may be able to get by with just a single stroller and certain attachments such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses which allow you to transport your child around on their backs or in front of you.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children can see one another. They are larger than a single to double stroller stroller and may be difficult to maneuver over kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an easier way to travel with a single seat in the front and another in the rear, however they are still long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic as they allow you to transform your stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This way, you can keep your baby comfortably in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration - it could be used with twins as well as 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 accompany them to cycling trips or other day trips in which they prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your children may not always like to be in a twin stroller side by side and could get tired and angry during longer trips.

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller from the beginning make sure you think about the above points and the specific circumstances of your family. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make your life simpler, especially when you are required to navigate busy streets or busy malls.
