Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they might be fighting over who sits in which position. If they're at different heights, a tandem style may be ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best twin stroller suitable for siblings of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get into and out of.

Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows and a parent cup holder and cushioned leg cushions for the little ones.

This type of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways and it can be difficult to get between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides, so you can still get a lot of storage. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn around even on the smallest of curving paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family needs. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.
