Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face one their respective faces. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in which position. It is also ideal for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggys however they tend to be larger and may feel longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter.
