What style of buggy do you prefer?
A double buggy is perfect for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also be used as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can lie down or sit in various positions. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight, fold up easily and small enough to fit into your car boot. If you travel a lot deal, it's important to ensure that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the wheels folded in your car boot, and then removed.
You may have seen this kind of double buggy on other mothers' strollers or even ridden in one as a child. They're great for older siblings or twins who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating options, including 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to steer and, if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.
Tandem buggies are also a popular option because they're easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is located behind the first and not on the top. They're typically bigger than a side-byside and can be bulky when folded, so it's important to check they'll be able to pass through doors and 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're more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and have a high cost of resale. They are easy to steer and feature a large storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some have a built in ride-on board for children older than and 'cinema seats'.
Do you have twins?
Double buggys are the best way to transport your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting over the other, and side by side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems are typically wider overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot as well as a toddler seat.
Do you have a child?
Having a younger sibling can feel like a big responsibility at first, especially when you must tend to the infant. They might be feeling a little secluded when they are in a baby carrier while you push the older one ahead and having a double buggy from the start can make everything simpler. It can also help your child get into their new role as big brother or sister'.
Side-by-side double buggies are usually considered the best option for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be hefty and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy that features an innovative frame that expands in width and can accommodate two fixed seats. It also comes with a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat as an infant bassinet.
We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore.

Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it has lots of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.
Do you require an automated system of travel for your business?
Double buggies can be an ideal way to move your children in a comfortable way. However, they are not necessary for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you may be able to make do using a single stroller with some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child on their back or in front of you.
If you choose to purchase a double buggy there are three types to choose from: side-by-side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are positioned in a row, so that your children will be able to see one another. However, these are generally larger than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an easier way to travel with one seat in the front and one in the rear, but they are still long and heavy to push.
Convertible double buggies are fantastic as they allow you to transform your stroller to a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. It is possible to keep your child in the car seat until is able to climb up into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this - it's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler 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 also be used to accompany them on bike rides or day trips where they'd prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that they may not desire to be in a buggy, and they could easily become disgruntled and tired when they are on longer excursions.
Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's specific circumstances. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make your life simpler, especially when you have to navigate busy streets or crowded malls.
