The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in which position. It also works well for visiting places like the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they also are wider and longer when pushed.
