Double buggys are perfect for transporting two children at a time, even if they are not the same age.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-byside one, which you've likely seen on other moms pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. These are great for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins and typically have numerous seating options (including "cinema" seats) for your children to choose from. These are usually easy to steer, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they can effortlessly handle kerbs.
Tandem buggies are also a popular option because they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat sits behind the first, instead of sitting on top of it. The seats are generally wider and bulkier than a side by side and you must ensure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and baby or three children with the addition of a buggy board.

They tend to be more expensive than side-by-sides and tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and a high price for resales. They are easy to steer and have a large storage basket. They are also able to handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and "cinema seating" for your older child.
Do you have twins?
Double buggys are the best method to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary types of double buggy: side-by-side buggies in which your children are seated side by side and tandem buggies in which one baby is above the other. Both buggies can accommodate two fixed seats. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate both a toddler seat and a carrycot.
Do you have a baby?
Being a parent to a child can be a big responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the baby. A double buggy can also allow children to feel included when you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with an immense sense of pride when they are able to be "big brother or sister" and help them get used to their role.
The side-by-side double buggies can be a great option for twins, since both children will have the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy that features an innovative frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also offers different configuration options including using the second seat as an infant bassinet.
We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who like to explore. This buggy is clever and can start with an individual pushchair, but can be converted into a double, which can include an additional seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone happy.
Do you need a travel system?
Double buggies are excellent for transporting your children around in comfort, but they're not essential for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your children, you may be able to get by with a single stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child on their backs or in front of you.

The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children can be able to see each other. However, double pushchair tend to be wider than a single pushchair and are difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact, with one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and difficult to push.
Convertible double buggies are wonderful because they allow you to convert your single stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This way, you can keep your baby safely in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.
Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bike rides or day excursions where they prefer to walk. But, it's important to remember that they may not always prefer to ride in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired when they are on longer excursions.
Before you decide to purchase a double buggy from birth be sure to consider the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. A durable and reliable double buggy will make life easier, especially when you need to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded malls.
