There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from the moment of birth. Katie Billingsley, a postnatal retreat expert from the Fourth Trimester, gave us her tips on everything from seating options and age groups to folding mechanisms and storage.

A must-have purchase for families with active children, this buggy grows with your family from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight and movable, and can maneuver through uneven terrain easily.

What style of buggy do you prefer?

double jogging stroller buggys are perfect for transporting up to two children at a time, even if they are not of the same age. They can also be used as prams and have the ability to recline in each seat, so your children can lie down in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage space to store everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They are usually light, fold easily, and compact enough to fit in your car's boot. If you travel a lot amount, it's essential to make sure that the buggy be easily pushed around with the folded wheels in your car boot, and then removed.

You may have seen this kind of double pushchair buggy on other mums strollers, or even in one as a kid. They are perfect for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They are also available in a variety of seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're usually easy to steer and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are simpler to turn than side-by-sides, are also very popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat sits behind the first one, instead of over it. They're usually bigger than a side-byside and can be bulky when folded, so it's important to check they'll fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler and an infant or three children, with the addition of an extra 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 resale price. They're generally simple to steer, feature large storage bins 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 child's older.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings with different ages, a double buggy side by side buggy is the most efficient way to transport them around. There are two kinds of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child is seated above the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems are typically more spacious overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have a baby?

A younger sibling can feel like quite an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you have to tend to the baby. A double buggy can help children to feel included when you put them in an infant carrier and push the older child. It will also help your child settle into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

The side-by-side small double buggy buggies can be a good option for twins since each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. We like the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE by Leclerc that features an innovative frame that expands the width to accommodate two fixed seats and offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as an infant carrier or bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to families who love to explore. This clever buggy can start off as a single pushchair but it can then be converted into a double pram and pushchair, which can include a second seat, a carrycot or a car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain and it includes a number of thoughtful features to keep everyone comfortable.

Do you require an automated system of travel for your business?

Double buggies are an excellent way to transport your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't required for every family. You may be able get by with just one stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler straps that allow you and your child to ride on their backs or in the front.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have two seats near each other, meaning that your children can see each one another. They are larger than a single stroller and can be difficult to maneuver around the kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an easier way to travel with one seat in the front and one in the rear, but they can be still quite long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are fantastic because they let you convert your stroller into a dual buggy by simply attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This way, you can keep your baby safely in their car seat until they're ready for a move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three children with the the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children become older and more capable and able, you can get a double buggy to take them on bicycle rides or for day trips in which they prefer to walk. It is important to keep in mind that your kids may not always enjoy being in a stroller and might get tired and angry during longer trips.

Before you purchase a double stroller, consider the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. A reliable and sturdy double buggy can make your life easier, particularly when you have to navigate through busy streets or crowded malls.
