Some models come with a second seat under the chassis, which can be ideal for shopping or older children who like to sit and look around.

Tandem pushchairs may be larger and longer than side-byside models. However, they are extremely versatile and can be adapted to fit with the majority of infant car seats.

Find double strollers that fold in a compact twin stroller manner. They are generally a bit larger than single buggies, but they are able to pass through standard doorways and take up less room in your car or in your boot. Some models come with a carry bag to make storage easier.

Tandem buggies are generally designed as a single buggy but they come with adapters that let you add another seat. They are smaller in size than side by side strollers but are too large for some doorways. They can also be extremely heavy, and are typically difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs.

On the other hand side-by-side buggies are typically smaller than tandem models. They are easier for twins to handle and can also accommodate older siblings. However, they are more expensive and may not be able to fit through all doors. The double bundle from Joovy is an excellent illustration of a model that has the seats facing one another, inwards or outwards. It can be used for infant car seats, and it comes with bassinet.

This is a major plus for parents who are constantly on the move and don't have the time to mess with multiple steps. Some models, like the Doona or the BOB Revo Flex 3.0 Combo have an attachment with two steps, which involves clicking into place and then strapping on. This extra step provides a margin for error and increases the likelihood that the car seat will be set up incorrectly. Some strollers were difficult to adjust the crotch and shoulder straps, and some car seat buckles could be difficult to operate.
