Buying a Twin Pushchair
When shopping for a twin pushchair, it's important to consider the different configurations available. Two options to consider are tandem double buggies as well as side-byside double buggies.

Easy to maneuver
A double pushchair is a great option for families with twins, or a baby and toddler. Double buggys or twin prams, as they are commonly referred to, come in a variety of configurations that will fit any family. Some are side by side, while others have two fronts and a rear for small spaces. Some can be converted into single prams when your children grow out of them, making them an ideal choice for families that are growing.
Side-by-side twin buggies (or tandem twin buggies) are easy to steer as their front wheels can be locked for extra stability, and there's usually more storage space behind them. They are also more compact than other twin buggies, so they are easier to maneuver through doorways and public transport. They tend to be lighter than other twin prams and can be more compact too However, you may be unable to maneuver them up and down kerbs on rough terrain.

Many twin buggies are travel systems that have car seats that can be attached to the frame. This can be useful when traveling with infants and toddlers since you don't have to transfer them from the car to the pushchair which could be disruptive to them. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a good example of a twin pushchair that can be used as a travel device, and it also comes with a handy parent-facing mode for newborns.
Tandem twin buggies, on contrary, are generally designed for children of similar ages. They are more likely to provide an individual seat for each child. They're less likely to have carrycots for babies, and are typically larger than single buggies. They're still easily maneuverable, but many have recline that is independent, meaning both kids can sit up straight or lie in a snooze position.
