Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-byside in a side-by-side double stroller. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They are often smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to get through doorways and are more evenly weighted, making them easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down.

Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that a child can lie flat, while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of twin bed is a great option for toddlers and babies.

Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller with a basket attached to it. This is an excellent option for kids that's both practical and enjoyable. It is essential to ensure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair, and provides two places for children. This arrangement is especially suitable for babies of similar age as it lets you have your baby in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are designed to accommodate both). Many of the top twin strollers come with a front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin stroller pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies while the front seat can be set either way. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling or look out into the world. You can add a baby cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed lay-flat area for your children. Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover for protection.

You can also choose an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a double pushchair around narrow doorways. It's an excellent option for urban excursions. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels makes it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front or back, or under. This is a solution that is cost-effective, durable and adaptable if you're planning to have another child in the near-term.
