These models let your children either face you or another according to their configuration.

Tandem models, which put one behind the other is more manageable, but still not as stable than single strollers or child car seats. They can be difficult to push up curbs, and they could have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

It is also important to test the brakes, as they can be difficult to operate when the child and infant seats are installed.
