Side-by-side models are perfect for twins or siblings very close in age, as they offer a space for both to sit together so they can communicate and chat during strolls. This kind of twin buggy is narrower than other types, which makes them easier to maneuver and fit through doors. However, they can be heavier and have a wider footprint than single buggies, making them feel less stable driving up the kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be double travel systems, with the possibility of attaching two car seats or carrycots simultaneously. Some models can be adapted to accommodate two identical baby car seats rear-facing position. They could be narrower and longer than twin buggies which are side-by-side, but they can also be narrower and longer than single buggies.

Look for a model with an ample cargo bag in case you intend to take your twin buggy for long walks. This will allow you to carry more than your two children, and will make it easier to keep the track of their belongings. Consider adding sun visors, rain cover and shopping tray to your bag.
