If you decide to go with a double buggy there are three types to choose from: side by side as well as convertible. The two seats are positioned parallel to each other, so your children will be able to see each other. They are larger than a single stroller, and may be difficult to maneuver through kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and another in the rear, however they are still heavy and long to push.
Convertible double buggies allow you to convert one stroller into a double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your newborn snuggled up in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPababy V2 is a great illustration - it could be used for twins as well as a toddler and one or more children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.
When your children are older and have more endurance, a double buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or day trips where they'd prefer walking. It is important to keep in mind that your children may not always enjoy being in a stroller and could become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.
Before you invest in a double stroller, think about the factors above and your family's unique circumstances. A sturdy and reliable double stroller will simplify life, especially if you need to navigate busy streets or overcrowded shopping centers.
