The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside, which you've likely seen on other moms' pushchairs or even rode in as a child. They are perfect for twins or older siblings who want to keep up with you. They also come in various seating configurations such as 'cinema seats'. They are usually simple to navigate, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they can effortlessly handle the kerbs. Tandem buggies are also a popular option since they're easier to turn than side-by-side. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first, rather than over it. The seats are usually bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side however, so make sure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, an infant or three children by the addition of an extra buggy board.

There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting above the other, and side by side buggies. Both buggies are able to accommodate two fixed seats.

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling may feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, particularly if you're also taking care of the baby. A double buggy can make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they become a 'big brother or sister' and help them get used to their role. The side-by-side double buggies can be a great choice for twins, since each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy.

Double buggies are excellent to transport your children around in comfort but they're not the ideal purchase for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children, you may be able to do with just a single stroller and certain attachments such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers which allow you to transport your child on their backs or in front of you. If you do opt for a double buggy, there are three types to pick from: side-by-side as well as convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats close to each other, which means your children will be able see each one another. However, they are generally larger than a single pushchair, and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact that has one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However, they can be heavy and long to push. Convertible double buggies are wonderful as they allow you to transform your single stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame.

It's important to keep in mind that your kids may not always like to be in a stroller, and may become tired and disgruntled on longer outings. Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, consider the above factors and your family's unique situation.
