What type of buggy would you prefer?

Double buggys are great for transporting up to two children at once even if they're not of the same age. They can also be used as prams and come with a reclining mechanism within each seat, allowing your children can sit or lie down in various positions. Many of them also have plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're typically lightweight, fold up easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot.

You might have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers strollers, or even in one as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings that want to keep up with you or for twins. They typically come with many seating options (including "cinema" seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They are generally easy to steer, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to effortlessly handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. The second seat is located behind the first, rather than on top. They're usually larger than a side-by-side, and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and on public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and baby or three children with the addition of a buggy.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single double stroller pushchair from birth then convert to a double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They tend to be more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies but offer lots of flexibility and have a great return on investment. They're generally simple to steer, feature a huge storage basket and are able to handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema chairs'.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings with different age groups, a double buggie is the best way to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits above the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.

Do you have children?

At first the idea of having a younger sibling may feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, particularly if you're also caring for the infant. They may be feeling a little secluded when they are in a baby carrier while you push the older one to the side and so having a double buggy from birth can make things easier. It will also help your child get into their new role as a 'big brother or sister'.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a good option for twins since each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children safely. However they aren't required for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids, you may be able to get by with just a single stroller and certain attachments such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers that let you carry your child on their backs or in front of you.

If you do opt for a double buggy there are three kinds to pick from: side-by-side, tandem and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats that are next to each other, so your children will be able to see each other. They are wider than a single stroller and may be difficult to navigate over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are an easier way to travel with a single seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can still be large and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. You can leave your child in the car seat until he or is ready to step to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

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

Before you invest in a double infant stroller stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life especially if you need to navigate through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
