Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children in a row. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width means that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates an entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. This foldable pram comes with some amazing accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It is not as lightweight as some other options but it's incredibly well designed.

This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store an empty buggy, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of cheap pushchairs, however it comes with a large basket for shopping that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of 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.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets and some models can be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.
