Easy to maneuver

There are some amazing double buggies on the market that make traveling with two kids much simpler.

The primary benefit of twin buggy is that your children will be able to communicate instead of having to take turns or fight over who gets the best place. However, twin buggys tend to be larger and can be difficult to navigate through supermarket entrances and aisles.
