What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing both children to face one the other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over which seat.

Tandems can be more spacious than single buggys but they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when being pushed.
