The most popular type of double buggy is the side by side that you've probably seen on other mums' pushchairs or even rode in as a child yourself. They're great for twins or older siblings who want to keep pace with you. They are also available in various seating options such as 'cinema seats'. They are generally easy to steer, and if you select a model that has a soft suspension, they will easily handle the kerbs.
Tandem buggies are a popular choice as they're typically more maneuverable than a side-by-side. The second seat is positioned behind the first and not on the top. They're usually bigger than a side-byside and can be bulky when folded, which is why it's crucial to ensure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used to transport twins, a toddler, a baby or three children with the addition of an additional buggy board.

Both will accommodate 2 fixed seats, however side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller in width for getting through doors. Tandems are typically wider overall. They can also accommodate seats for toddlers and a carrycot.

There are three different types of double buggies: tandem, side-by-side and convertible. The two seats are positioned side-by-side, so your children will be able to see one another. These buggies are wider than a single stroller, and may be difficult to navigate over kerbs. Tandem buggies are a more compact alternative, with a single seat in the front and a second in the rear, however they can be still quite large and heavy to push.
