A side-by-side double buggy has the children positioned side by side and will usually have two fixed seats. They tend to be smaller and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to move through doorways.
Some have seats that are adjustable and permit a child to lay flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This kind of twin is an excellent choice from birth, and is also a great choice through the toddler years and beyond.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy that has a large basket attached to it. This is a great option for kids that is both practical and enjoyable. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model prior to purchasing.

The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair and offers two places for children. This arrangement is great for babies of the same age as you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the best twin strollers have an adjustable front seat and an rear seat that is upright.
