Tandem double buggies, that have the children positioned on opposite sides, are a popular choice for twins, or parents of a baby and a toddler. However, they do generally have a bigger space than single-seaters and may be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements or through doors.

The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is a popular tandem that can grow with your family. It comes with 30 different seating options. It can be used with twins or a baby and a toddler or even three kids if you add iCandy's 'PiggyBack' board (which is available separately).

It can be used for twins or a toddler and a baby, or two children of the same age. Each seat reclines independently, so the kids are comfortable.
