Each seat is equipped with an adjustable mechanism so that your children can lie down or sit in different positions.

The most common type of double stroller sale buggy is the side by side one, which you've probably seen on other mothers pushchairs, or perhaps ridden in as a child. These are great for older siblings who want to keep up with you or for twins. They typically come with a large number of seating options (including "cinema" seats) for your children to choose from. These are usually easy to steer, and if you choose a model with a soft suspension, they can effortlessly handle the kerbs.

Tandem buggies are another popular choice as they're typically easier to turn than side-by-side.
