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

This buggy is essential for active families. It grows with your family from toddlers to twins. It's lightweight and movable, and can maneuver through uneven terrain with ease.

What type of buggy would you like?

A double buggy is great for transporting two kids, not necessarily of the same age, side-by-side. 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. Many have ample storage for everything from drinks and snacks to nappies and wipes. They're usually lightweight that folds easily and are compact double stroller enough to fit into your car boot. If you travel a significant deal, it's important to check that the buggy can be easily pushed around with the folded wheels in your boot and taken out.

The most well-known type of double buggy is the side by side that you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs double, or perhaps ridden in as a kid. These are great for older siblings that want to keep up with you, or for twins. They usually have a large number of seating options (including 'cinema' seats) for your toddlers to choose from. They're usually easy ready to grow double stroller drive and, if you decide to go for a model with soft suspension, make light work of the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are also a popular option because they're more maneuverable than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat sits behind the first one, instead of sitting over it. The seats are usually bigger and bulkier than a traditional side by side however, so make sure whether they are able to pass through doors or on public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, a baby or three children with the addition 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. They're more expensive than tandem buggies or side-by-side buggies, but they offer plenty of flexibility and have a high selling price. They are easy to steer and have an ample storage basket. They also have the ability to 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?

Double buggys are the best method of transporting your children, whether they are twins or older siblings. There are two types of double buggies: tandem buggies, where one child is seated over the other, and side-by-side buggies. Both can be fitted with two fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies are typically narrower in width for getting through doors. Tandems tend to be wider in general. They can also accommodate a carrycot or toddler seat.

Do you have children?

Being a parent to a child can feel like a big responsibility initially, particularly when you need to be attentive to the infant. A double buggy may make it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging if you put them in a baby carrier and push the older child. It will also provide your child with the feeling of pride that comes with knowing that they are able to be 'big brother or sister' and help them settle into their role.

The side-by-side double buggies can be a great option for twins, as both children will share the same view. However, they are bulky and heavy. We love the sleek B-AGILE DOUBLE from Leclerc which has an innovative frame that expands the width to accommodate two seats fixed and provides various configuration options, such as using the second seat as an infant carrier or bassinet.

If you prefer, we suggest alternatively, we recommend the Mountain Buggy Double Trailblazer for families who love to explore. This clever buggy is a single-pushchair that can be transformed into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot (depending on model). Its smooth ride is perfect for rough terrain, and it features many thoughtful features that are sure to keep everyone content.

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

Double buggies are excellent for transporting your children around in comfort however they're not the ideal purchase for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children you might be able to do with just a single stroller and some attachments, such as toddler harnesses and baby carriers which allow you to transport your child on their back or in front of you.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem side-by-side and convertible. Side-by-side buggies have the two seats close to each other, which means your children can see each one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and aren't easy to navigate around kerbs. Tandem buggies provide an easier way to travel with a seat in the front and one in the rear, however they can be still quite long and heavy to push.

Convertible double buggies are great because they let you convert your stroller to an additional buggy by attaching an infant bassinet or car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your child in the car seat until he or is able to climb to the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is a good example - it can be used for twins as well as a toddler and an infant, or even three children using the option of a PiggyBack Board.

When your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can also be used to accompany them on bicycle rides or day excursions where they prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that your children may not always be comfortable in a stroller and could become tired and disgruntled when they are on longer excursions.

Before you decide to purchase a double buggy from birth, take some time to take a look at the above factors and the specific circumstances of your family. Having a solid and reliable double stroller will simplify life particularly if you have to navigate through busy streets or crowded shopping centres.
