This buggy is an essential item for active families. It will grow with you and your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight, has great maneuverability and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.

What kind of buggy would you prefer?

Double buggys are ideal for transporting two children at once, even if they are not of the same age. They can also be used as prams and come with recline mechanisms in each seat, so your children can lie down in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage space for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. Often they're lightweight, fold up easily and are compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you drive a lot it's worth checking that the buggy's ease of use with the folded wheels and to take out and back into your boot.

You may have seen this type of double buggy on other mums' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. They're ideal for twins who are older or who want to keep pace with you. They also come in a variety of seating configurations, including 'cinema seats'. They're generally easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model that has soft suspension, you can make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular option since they're easier to turn than side-by-side. This is due to the fact that the second seat sits behind the first one, instead of sitting on top of it. The seats are typically wider and bulkier than a side by side however, so make sure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport 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 are more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, however they provide plenty of flexibility and come with a premium selling price. They are easy to steer and come with an ample storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some even have a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your child's older.

Do you have twins?

Whether your children are twins or siblings of different ages, a double buggy is the best way to transport them around. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies which have one child sitting over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However, side-by-side buggies are narrower to fit through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate both seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

Do you have a toddler?

At beginning, having a younger sibling could feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, particularly if you're also caring for the baby. A double buggy can make it easier for them to feel included if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can also help your child get into their new role of a 'big brother or sister'.

Side-by-side double umbrella stroller buggies are usually considered to be the best choice for twins as they let both children enjoy the same view, however they can be bulky and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a streamlined double buggy with an innovative frame which expands widthways and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also comes with a variety of configuration options such as using the second seat to create a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who are keen to explore. This clever buggy is a single-twin pushchair from birth that can be transformed into a double stroller with car seat by adding a second seat or carrycot (depending on the model). Its super-smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain and it has lots of clever features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort however they're not the ideal purchase for every family. You could get by with just a single stroller, with a few attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler straps that permit you and your child to be able to travel on their backs, or in the front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats positioned close to each other, meaning that your children will be able to see each other. They are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option, with one seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and lengthy 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 is ready to step into the buggy seat. The Uppababy V2 is an excellent example - it can be used for twins as well as a toddler and an infant, or even three children using the optional PiggyBack Board.

Once your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they'd prefer walking. However, it's worth remembering that they might not always prefer to ride in a buggy and could easily become disgruntled and tired during longer trips.

Before you decide to invest in a double buggy at the time of birth, take some time to think about the above points and your family's specific circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller can make life much easier especially if you need to navigate busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
