Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair that can typically seat 2 children together. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doors and also more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.
Many models can be used from birth as twin prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even convert into a single mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies.

Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo as the children can look at the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to watch their toddler and baby simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more children than two (or when your oldest child does not require the buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair that you need to store away and can be expensive.
The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be placed so that they face each opposite or higher up to observe what each is doing.
Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or for an exercise walk due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often use two carrycots or a car seat and a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an entire travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer and may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
