A side-by-side double buggy has the children positioned in a row, side-by-side and usually has 2 fixed seats. They tend to be narrower and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to move through doors.

Certain models can even be converted into an all-in-one buggy with a huge shopping basket alongside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a unique alternative that is not only practical but also fun for children. However, it is important to check that any extra accessories are compatible with your model before purchasing.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair, and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of the same age, because you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all models allow both). Many of the best twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines flat, and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can be set either way, which means your younger child can look at their sibling or you can open them towards the world for greater interaction. Include a newborn cocoon on each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat comes with a raincover, hood and the recline is complete.
