If they are at different heights, it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suited to siblings with similar age group, tandem light double to single buggy strollers have their own charms. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have Reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are bigger, and easier to get into and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. Its fabric feels a bit less premium than some of our other top-rated tandems, but it still looks and feels great and is user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring.

It's not possible to fold it with the carrycot attached, but the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and fast.

Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child gets older and starts to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards.
