Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children in a row. They're generally wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less agile on paths. It may also be difficult to maneuver between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams and accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates an entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that allows the children to be seated together and be able to see each one another.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest child is no longer a need for a buggy). This means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be positioned higher up so it can see over the other and observe what they're up to.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 in one pushchair can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain, or for a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often include two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a travel system at the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
