Comfort

Side-by-side models are perfect for twins or siblings very close in age because they provide space for both of them to sit n stand double stroller together which allows them to interact and talk during strolls. This type of twin buggy can be narrower than other types and makes them easier to manoeuvre and fit through doors. They may be heavier, have a larger footprint and feel less stable when bumping into kerbs.

Tandem buggy models are more likely to be double travel systems, with the possibility of attaching two carrycots or car seats at the same time. Some models can be expanded to accommodate two babies in the same car seat in rear-facing mode.

However, they may not pass through doors if the manufacturers' 'standard' doors are too narrow.
