There are many things to consider when selecting the ideal double buggy right from birth. 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 for families with active children, this buggy grows with your family from twins to toddlers. It is lightweight, has great maneuverability and is able to handle uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you prefer?

A best double buggy buggy is ideal for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side by side. They can also function as prams. Each seat has an adjustable mechanism so that your children can sit or lie down in different positions. A lot of them have plenty of storage space for everything from snacks and drinks to wipes and nappies. They're typically lightweight, fold up easily and compact enough to fit in the car boot. If you drive a great deal, it's important to check that the buggy can be easily moved by folding the wheels into your boot and taken out.

The most popular type of double buggy is the side by side one, which you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child yourself. They're great for twins who are older or who want to keep up with you. They also come in a variety of seating configurations and styles, including 'cinema chairs'. They're usually pretty easy to steer and, if you go for a model with soft suspension, they can be a breeze to get rid of kerbs.

Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by sides, are also popular. The second seat is placed behind the first rather than on the top. The seats are generally bigger and bulkier than a side-by-side and you must ensure that they will fit through doors or on public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler or three children with the addition of a buggy.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair from birth then convert to a double infant strollers by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame. They're more expensive than tandem buggies and side-by-side buggies, but they offer the flexibility of a single buggie and come with a premium cost of resale. They are easy to steer and have an ample storage basket. They can also handle uneven surfaces. Some models even come with a built-in ride-on board and 'cinema seating' for your older child.

Do you have twins?

If your children are twins or siblings of different age groups, a double buggy is the most efficient way to move them around. There are two main types of double buggy - side-by-side buggies in which your children sit in a row, side-by-side or tandem buggies where one baby is above the other. Both buggies can accommodate two seats fixed. However side-by-side buggies are smaller to be able to pass through doors. Tandems are generally wider overall. They can also accommodate a carrycot and toddler seats.

Do you have a child?

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

The side-by-side double buggies can be a great option for twins since each child will get the same view. However they're heavy and heavy. The Leclerc B-AGILE DUAL is a compact double buggy with a unique frame that can be expanded widthwise and can accommodate two seats fixed. It also provides a variety of configuration options including using the second seat for a bassinet.

We recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer to active families who like to explore. This buggy is clever and can start with an individual pushchair double, but can be converted into a double pram pushchair by adding an additional seat or carrycot, or car seat (depending on the model). Its smooth ride is ideal for rough terrain, and it features numerous thoughtful features that will keep everyone happy.

Do you require a traveling system?

Double buggies are an ideal way to move your children in a comfortable way. However they aren't necessary for every family. Depending on your lifestyle, and the age gap between your children you might be able to do with just a single stroller and some attachments like baby carriers and toddler harnesses that allow you to ferry your child around on their back or in front of you.

If you decide to go with a double buggy, there are three types to choose from: side-by-side or tandem, and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats that are near each other, which means your children can see each one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and can be difficult to navigate over the kerbs. Tandem buggies are small with a seat in the front and a second one at the back. However they can be heavy and lengthy to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. This way, you can keep your infant snuggled in their car seat until they're ready to transition into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great example - it can be used for twins as well as a toddler and one or more children with the option of a PiggyBack Board.

If your children have grown older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day trips where they might prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that they may not desire to be in a buggy and could easily become disgruntled and tired during longer trips.

Before you decide to purchase a double stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's unique circumstances. Having a sturdy and reliable double best twin stroller will simplify life, especially if you need to travel through busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
