Double buggys are the ideal way to transport your children, no matter if they are twins or older siblings. There are two primary types of double buggy - side-by-side buggies in which your children are seated in a row, side-by-side or tandem buggies where one child is higher than the other. Both can accommodate two fixed seats, but side-byside buggies tend to be narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems are generally more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.

The side-by-side double buggies could be a great choice for twins, as each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children can see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are compact with a seat at the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform one stroller into double buggy by attaching a bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up comfortably in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good example - it can be used for twins or a toddler, an infant, or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.

It's important to remember that your children may not always like to be in a twin stroller with car seats and could become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

So, before you decide to invest in a double buggy at the time of birth, take some time to consider the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double stroller will make life much easier particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
