This is the preferred method of parents who believe it less likely to cause sibling rivalries over who sits where. It is also a good option for places such as the zoo, where the children are able to easily view each their fellow. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggys however they tend to be larger and may feel longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair, but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families with more than one child. Additionally, it means that you don't have to purchase another buggy if your older child has outgrown it. It may not be the best twin stroller choice for twins in the early months, as they'll have to be of the same weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger which can be used in a double or single mode and has two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel which means it can be used on off-road trails. It is heavier than other options but it also has durability.

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could significantly affect its performance.
