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. Each seat is equipped with a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions. They also come with plenty of storage space to store everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. double pram pushchair , fold easily and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you travel a lot deal, it's important to ensure that the buggy can be easily moved by folding the wheels into your car boot, and then removed.
The most popular type of double buggy is the side-byside that you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs or even ridden in as a kid. They are ideal for older siblings who want to keep up with you, or for twins and typically have numerous seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They're usually pretty easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, you can make light work of kerbs.
Tandem buggies are a popular option since they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is placed behind the first, rather than on top. They're usually bigger than a side-byside and can be a bit bulky when folded, which is why it's crucial to ensure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and a baby or three children, with the addition of an extra buggy board.
Lastly there are double pram pushchair -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 generally more expensive than side by sides or tandem buggies but provide plenty of flexibility and a high price for resales. They're generally simple to steer, feature a huge storage basket and can cope well on uneven surfaces. Some models even come with an integrated ride-on board that can be used as 'cinema seating' for your older child.
Do you have twins?
Whether your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggie is the best option to transport them around. There are two primary types of double buggy - side-by-side buggies where your children are seated in a row, side-by-side, and tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width to allow for access through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.
Do you have a child?
Being a parent to a child can feel like a big responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the infant. They may be a bit irritated if they are placed in a baby carrier while you push the older sibling to the side and so having a double buggy right from the beginning can make everything simpler. It will also give your child a sense of pride as they get to be 'big brother or sister' and help them get used to their role.

Do you require an automated system of travel for your business?
Double buggies can be an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your children you may be able to get by with a single stroller and some attachments like toddler harnesses and baby carriers which allow you to transport your child on their back or in front of you.
There are three types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats close to each other, so your children will be able to see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair, and can be tricky to maneuver between kerbs. Tandem buggies are small, with one seat in the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and difficult to push.
Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they allow you to convert your stroller into an additional 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 up into the buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration - it could be used for twins or a toddler, an infant, or even three children with the optional PiggyBack Board.
If your children have grown older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day excursions where they prefer walking. It's important to remember that your children might not always be comfortable in a stroller and could get tired and angry when they are on longer excursions.
Before you invest in a double stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's unique situation. A sturdy and reliable double stroller can make life much easier especially if you need to travel through busy streets or bustling shopping centres.
