They can also be used as prams, and they have a reclining mechanism in each seat so your children can sit or lie down in different positions.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a child. They're great for twins or older siblings who want to keep up with you. They are also available in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They're usually easy to drive and, if you go for a model that has soft suspension, make light work of kerbs.
Tandem buggies are also a popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first and not on the top. The seats are typically bigger and bulkier than a side by side and you must ensure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and baby or three kids with the addition of a buggy.

Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also be able to accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.
Do you have a child?
At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling could feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're taking care of the baby. They may also feel left out if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older one along and having a double buggy right from the beginning can make things easier.

There are three types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are positioned side-by-side, so your children can be able to see each other. However, these are typically larger than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and one in the rear, however they are still heavy and long to push.
Convertible double buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. You can keep your baby in the car seat until he or she is ready to move into the 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 the optional PiggyBack board.

It's important to keep in mind that your children might not always like to be in a stroller, and may get tired and angry on longer outings.
So, before you decide to purchase a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can simplify your life especially if you need to navigate busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
