A must-have for families with active children This buggy will grow with your family from twins through to toddlers. It's lightweight with great manoeuvrability and is able to tackle uneven terrain easily.
What type of buggy would you like?
A double buggy is ideal for transporting two children, but not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. They can also serve as prams and come with recline mechanisms in each seat, so your children can sit or lie down in various positions. They're often spacious enough to store everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight, fold easily and are compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you travel a significant deal, it's important to check that the buggy can be easily maneuvered with the folded wheels in your car boot, and then removed.
You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mothers strollers, or even in one as a child. They're great for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They also come in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to steer and, if you opt for a model with soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of the kerbs.
Tandem buggies are also a popular choice as they're typically more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first, rather than on the top. They're typically bigger than a side-byside 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, a baby and toddler or three children with the inclusion 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 or side-byside buggies, however they provide a lot of flexibility and come with a premium cost of resale. They are easy to steer and have an ample storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with a built-in ride-on board and "cinema seating" for your older child.
Do you have twins?
Double buggys are the most efficient way to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child sits over the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems tend to be larger in general. They can also accommodate both seats for toddlers and a carrycot.
Do you have a child?
At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling can feel like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're caring for the baby. A double buggy can make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child get into their new role of big brother or sister'.
Side-by-side buggies can be a great choice for twins, since both children will have the same view. However cheap double pushchair are heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a sleek double buggy with a unique frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers different configuration options including using the second seat for a bassinet.

This innovative buggy starts off as a single pushchair but it can then be converted into a double by adding a second seat, carrycot or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it comes with a variety of clever features that will keep everyone comfortable.
Do you require a traveling system?
Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort however they're not essential for every family. You could use one stroller with a few attachments, such as baby straps and toddler carriers that permit you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.
If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three types to pick from: side-by-side, tandem and convertible. The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children can be able to see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller, and aren't easy to navigate through the kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an easier way to travel with one seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can be still quite long and heavy to push.
Convertible double buggies are great as they allow you to transform your stroller to an additional buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent illustration of this. It's suitable for twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids with the the optional PiggyBack board.
As your children grow older and more capable to walk, you can opt for double buggys to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips where they may prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your kids may not always be comfortable in a stroller, and may be tired and irritable during longer trips.
So, before you make the decision to buy a double buggy at the time of birth make sure you take a look at the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. Having double stroller with bassinet and reliable double stroller will simplify your life, especially if you need to navigate busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
