Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children together. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they are less agile on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is easier for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from the beginning and a lot of models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into a single mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or if your eldest child isn't a need for a buggy any longer).

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat.

The seats can be positioned so that they face each other, or one can be set higher so that it can see over the other and see what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets, and some models can even be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it will often include two carrycots, or a car seat and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may be less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
