Side-by-Side
A side-byside double buggy can have children placed side by side and usually has 2 fixed seats. They tend to be smaller than a single pushchair, so it is easier to maneuver through doorways, and more evenly weighted, making them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.
Some seats are adjustable, which allow a child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent option right from the beginning and is also a great choice through toddlerhood and beyond.
Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy with a basket on the side. This is a fantastic option for kids that's both practical and enjoyable. However, it is important to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model prior to purchasing.
Tandem
The tandem double stroller pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair and provides two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is ideal for children of the same age because you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a car seat or in a car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the best twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines flat, and an upright rear seat.

The rear seat offers a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can be positioned either way, which means that your child's younger one can look at their older sibling or you can open them out to the world for more interaction.
