Side-by-Side
A side-byside double buggy can have the children positioned side by side and will usually have 2 fixed seats. They tend to be narrower than a single pushchair, so easier to get through doorways and are also more evenly weighed, making them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.
Some seats can be adjusted so that a child can lie flat and others are designed to fit carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic choice from birth, and is also a great choice through the toddler years and beyond.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy with a basket attached to it. This is a fantastic option for kids that's both practical and fun. However, it is important to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before purchasing.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age as it lets you put your infant in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models can take both). Many of the top twin strollers have a front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.

This lets your child to watch their older sibling, or even look out at the world. Add a newborn cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat place for your children.
