If you are expecting twins, or if you are expecting your second child and your eldest still regularly uses a buggy, you will probably need a double pushchair.

There are two types of double pushchair - a twin pushchair with two seats side by side, and a with one seat behind the other. To help you decide which type to buy, first of all think about whether you would prefer your children to sit next to each other or one behind the other. There are no hard and fast rules, but people with twins or children born with a relatively short space between them tend to choose twin buggies.

If, on the other hand, your older child has almost outgrown his pushchair, you may be able to put your new baby in a front carrier or sling and put your toddler in a single pushchair. When your baby is older you can then use the single pushchair for your baby and put your toddler on a Buggy Board or Kiddy Board on the back. The choice is up to you.
