When choosing the perfect double buggy, there are a lot of things to take into consideration. We spoke with Fourth Trimester postnatal retreat expert Katie Billingsley for her advice on everything from seating options, age ranges to folding mechanisms and storage space.

A must-have investment for families with active children, this buggy grows with your family from twins to toddlers. It is light with great maneuverability and can handle uneven terrain with ease.

What style of buggy do you want?

Double buggys are great for transporting two children at a time even if they're not the same age. They can also be used as prams. Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism that allows your children can sit or lie down in various positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to nappies and wipes. Often they're lightweight, fold easily and compact enough to fit in your car boot. If you're someone who drives a lot, it's worth checking the buggy's maneuverability using the folded wheels, and to take out and into your car boot.

You may have seen this kind of double buggy sale buggy on other moms' strollers or even ridden in one as a kid. These are great for older siblings who wish to keep up with you or for twins. They usually have many seating configurations (including "cinema" seats) for your little ones to choose from. They're usually easy to drive and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically more maneuverable than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat is placed behind the first one, instead of sitting over it. The seats are usually larger and heavier than a side-by-side, so you should check whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins or a toddler and baby 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.

Some models even come with built-in ride-on boards and "cinema seating" for your older child.

Do you have twins?

Double buggys are the most efficient method to transport your children, regardless of whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies where one child sits over the other, and side-byside buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, but side-by-side buggies tend to be narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be wider overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seats.

Do you have a baby?

Being a parent to a child can feel like quite an enormous responsibility at first, especially when you need to be attentive to the infant. A double buggy can also make it easier for children to feel included when you place them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It can aid your child in settling into their new role as a 'big sister or brother'.

Side-by-side buggies can be a good option for twins since each child will get the same view. However they are heavy and heavy. We love the streamlined B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc with its innovative frame that expands the width to accommodate two seats fixed. It also offers various configuration options, including the second seat being used as baby carrier or a bassinet.

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

Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies can be an ideal way to move your children safely. However, they are not necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle and the age gap between your kids, you may be able to do using a single stroller with certain attachments such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers which allow you to transport your child around on their back or in front of you.

There are three different types of cheap double pushchair buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are placed side-by-side, so your children will be able to be able to see each other. They are larger than a single stroller, and aren't easy to maneuver over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are a compact option with a seat at the front and another at the back. However they can be quite heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double strollers buggies are wonderful because they let you convert your stroller double into an additional buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up safely 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 with twins as well as a toddler and an infant, or even three children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.

When your children become older and more capable to walk, you can opt for double buggys to accompany them on cycling trips or other day trips where they might prefer to walk. However, it's worth remembering that they may not want to be in a buggy and can easily be tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

Before you purchase a double stroller, think about the above factors and your family's specific circumstances. A reliable and sturdy double buggy will make life simpler, especially when you need to navigate busy streets or crowded malls.
