They typically weigh less than 6kg and fold up compactly and can be carried in the overhead compartments of flights.

Many come with a sunshade and raincover that are worth investing in to keep your baby happy on any outing!
A jogger buggy is equipped with large BMX wheels and is made for exercise. It also has an excellent suspension to take the bounces and bumps of off-road use. It isn't easy to steer a jogger buggie as the front wheels can be able to rotate. Locking this wheel is essential when crossing roads or putting on kerbs.
Some buggies are reversible. This allows the seat to face forward or backward (also known as a parent-facing). This is great for infants who are irritable in the car seat and prefer to look out at their parents. Other models are only forward-facing, so they're best for older children who don't like to be interrupted.
There are tandem buggies that can accommodate two children of the exact same age. This is helpful for newborns or twins who are close in age, but it can be difficult to maneuver, particularly when the space is small. Some tandem buggies have recline mechanisms on each seat, so that your toddler can lay flat while you push them.
The best single buggy will depend on the size of your family, budget and your lifestyle. If you're expecting a baby think about a light buggy with a seat that can be used from birth. If you are looking to secure your budget, go with a single stroller that can be converted into a double buggy if the time comes. phil&teds developed the world's first inline buggy and now provide a wide selection of stroller and double kit bundles that will aid you in this.

Buying the double buggy
When purchasing a double-buggy you will have plenty to consider from how much it will cost to what type of recline positions the seats can offer. You should also think about whether you need a large basket and the type of suspension the buggy has. It is also important to consider what features you want the buggy to have such as sunshades, rain covers and snack trays.

UPPAbaby's Vista V2 is a perfect example, as it comes with 30 different seating configurations for all age groups.
