Side-by-side pushchairs seat children side by side and are generally world-facing (although there are a few options which allow you to alter this, such as the Bugaboo Donkey and Mountain Buggy Duet). Tandem pushchairs place one in the back and one in the front and are usually more upright than side-by-side models.

Budget

A tandem pushchair is perfect for twins or babies who were born closer together as it lets your older child sit in a seat behind the younger one. Some models offer the option of having them face each other or even world facing so your children can explore their surroundings independently of one another. Tandems can be somewhat more difficult to steer and are difficult to get to and from kerbs, but they are easier to fit into small doorways and shopping aisles.

Some models are designed for flexibility and can be converted back to a single stroller in the event that you don't require the second seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite are both examples of this.

It is also important to consider the amount of space you will need to store things. Some double pushchairs come with a large basket under the carriage, whereas others only have small storage pockets or none at all.
