Stability

Whether you have twins or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable.

Tandem models, which seat one behind the next, are more manageable but they aren't as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They can be difficult to navigate around from curbs, and they may not have as much storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

To gain a real impression of the stability of a double, it is important to test it out using both seats since this is the way you will be using it the most frequently. You should check the ease with which you can navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or when using the swivel front wheels. It is a good idea to test the brakes, too as they can be difficult to operate if the child and adult seats are both attached.
