Side-by-Side

A side-byside double buggy can have the children positioned on opposite sides and usually has 2 fixed seats. They are often smaller than a single pushchair, so it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly weighted, making them easy to manoeuvre between kerbs.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar age because it allows you to have your baby in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models are made to accommodate both).
