Side-by-Side
A side-by-side double buggy has children placed side by side and usually has two seats fixed. They are usually narrower than single pushchairs, making them easier to pass through doors and are also more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of the same age, as you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit, or in a car seat or baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). A lot of the top twin strollers have an adjustable front seat and the rear seat which is upright.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies, while the front seat can be positioned in any way.

Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to provide protection.
