These are usually easy to navigate, and if you opt for a model with a soft suspension, they are able to easily handle the kerbs. Tandem buggies are also a popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than a side-by-side. This is because the second seat is positioned behind the first instead of sitting on top of it. They're usually wider than a side-by-side and can be bulky when folded, so it's crucial to ensure they be able to pass through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins or a toddler and a baby or three children with the addition of a buggy.

They can also be able to accommodate an infant seat and a carrycot. Do you have a child?

Side-by-side buggies have the two seats that are next to each other, meaning that your children will be able to see each other. However, these tend to be wider than a single pushchair and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a seat in the front and a second in the rear, but they can be still quite long and heavy to push. Convertible double buggies allow you to transform a single stroller into double buggy by attaching the bassinet or infant car seat to the frame. It is possible to keep your child in the car seat until he/she is able to climb into the buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a great example of this.
