Other models with side-by-sides, like the Joie Evalite Duo are also extremely light and have a smaller footprint, which makes them easy to fit through doors and on public transport, and often you can store them with seats still attached.

There are two types of double buggys that are tandem and twin. In tandem, one seat is placed behind the other. The main advantage of twin buggy is that your children will be able to communicate, rather than having to switch places or fight over who gets the prime spot.
