They are also available in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They are usually simple to control, and if select a model that has a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle the kerbs. Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. The second seat is positioned behind the first rather than on the top. They're typically 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, a toddler, an infant or three children, with the addition 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and a very high selling price.

If 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 primary types of double buggy – side-by-side buggies where your children are seated side by side, and tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seats. Do you have a toddler? At beginning having a younger sibling can seem like a lot of responsibility, particularly if you're also taking care of the baby. A double buggy can also make it easier for children to feel included when you place them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they get to be 'big brother or sister' and help them settle into their role. Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins since they allow both children to enjoy the same view, but they can be bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy with a unique frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options including using the second seat for an infant bassinet. We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who love to explore.

Double buggies are ideal for transporting your children around in comfort however they're not a necessary purchase for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your kids you may be able to do with just a single stroller and certain attachments such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child around on their back or in front of you. If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three types to pick from: side-by-side as well as convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats that are near each other, so your children will be able see each one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and may be difficult to navigate over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option with a seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be quite heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies are fantastic as they allow you to transform your single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your baby in the car seat until he/she is able to climb into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good illustration – it could be used for twins, a toddler and an infant, or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board. As your children grow older and more able to walk, you can opt for a double buggy to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips in which they prefer to walk. It is important to keep in mind that your children may not always be comfortable in a stroller and might be tired and irritable when they are on longer excursions. Before you purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the above factors and your family's specific circumstances.
