Double buggys are great for transporting two children at a time even if they're not the same age. They can be used as prams and come with the ability to recline in each seat so your children can lie down in various positions.

The most common type of double buggy is the side-by-side that you've probably seen on other mums pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a kid. They're ideal for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations such as 'cinema seats'. They're usually easy to steer and, if you opt for a model that has soft suspension, make light work of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides are also popular. This is because the second seat is placed behind the first instead of sitting on top of it. The seats are usually bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side and you must ensure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, three children, with the addition of an additional buggy board.

There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child is seated above the other, and side-byside buggies. Both buggies can be fitted with two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to fit through doors. Tandems are generally wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have children?

At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling can feel like an overwhelming amount of responsibility, particularly if you're also taking care of the baby. They may be feeling a little secluded if they are placed in an infant carrier while you push the older one along and so having a double buggy right from the beginning can make everything easier. It can also give your child the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they get to be 'big brother or sister' and help them adjust to their role.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who love to explore.

Do you need a travel system?

There are three types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are positioned side-by-side, so your children can see one another.

However they can be heavy and long to push.
