They can also serve as prams. Each seat is equipped with a reclining mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in various positions. They also come with plenty of storage for everything from drinks and snacks to wipes and nappies. They're usually lightweight that folds easily and are small enough to fit in the car boot.

They are generally easy to control, and if select a model that has a soft suspension, they can effortlessly handle the kerbs.Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically more maneuverable than a side-by-side.

The seats are usually larger and heavier than a side-by-side and you must ensure whether they can fit through doors or on public transport.

They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.Do you have a baby?At beginning the idea of having a younger sibling may seem like a lot of responsibility, especially if you're taking care of the baby. They might be a bit irritated when they are in a baby carrier as you push the older one to the side and having a double buggy from the start can make everything easier. It will also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they get to be "big brother or sister" and help them settle into their role.The side-by-side double buggies can be a great choice for twins, as both children will share the same view.

However they aren't required for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children, you may be able to make do with a single stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you.There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies come with two seats that are close to each other, so your children can see each one another. They are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate around kerbs. Tandem buggies offer an alternative that is smaller, with a seat in the front and another in the rear, but they can be still quite large and heavy to push.Convertible double buggies are great as they allow you to transform your stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet to the frame.

It's important to keep in mind that your kids may not always like to be in a stroller and could become tired and disgruntled on longer outings.Before you purchase a double stroller, take into consideration the factors mentioned above and your family's unique situation. A sturdy and reliable double buggy will make life easier, particularly when you are required to navigate through busy streets or busy malls.
