Do you need a travel system?

Double buggies are ideal to transport your children around in comfort, but they're not essential for every family. Based on your lifestyle and the age gap between your children, you may be able to get by with just a single stroller and some attachments, such as baby carriers and toddler harnesses that let you carry your child on their back or in front of you.

There are three kinds of double buggies: tandem side-by-side, and convertible. The two seats are placed in a row, so that your children can see each other. These buggies are wider than a single stroller and aren't easy to maneuver around kerbs. Tandem buggies are small, with one seat at the front and another at the back. However, they can be heavy and long to push.

Convertible double buggies allow you to transform one stroller into a double buggy by attaching an infant car seat to the frame. This allows you to keep your baby comfortably in their car seat until they're ready to move into the main buggy seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a fantastic example of this. It's suitable for twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids with the addition of the optional PiggyBack board.

When your children are older and have more endurance, a double-buggy can be used to accompany them on bike rides or other day trips where they'd prefer to walk. It's important to keep in mind that your children may not always be comfortable in a stroller and might get tired and angry on longer outings.

Before you invest in a double stroller, think about the factors mentioned above and your family's specific circumstances. A durable and reliable double buggy can make life easier, especially when you are required to navigate busy streets or overcrowded malls.
