They are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate around the kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an easier way to travel with one seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can still be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by securing a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your infant snuggled safely in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example of this - it can be used with twins as well as a toddler and an infant, or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.

When your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they might prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that your children may not always be comfortable in a stroller and might get tired and angry during longer trips.

So, before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you think about the above points and the specific circumstances of your family.
