From birth

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're going to need to find a pushchair that fits the whole family. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front the other. They're a great choice if your children are similar in age and get along well. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat could kick or punch each other, and children on different heights can squabble over who gets to sit higher.
