Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face one another. Some parents prefer this style because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over which position. It is also a good option for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can easily see each other. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggys but they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when they are pushed.
