This kind of twin buggy is smaller than other models and makes them easier to maneuver and fit through doors. However, they may be heavier and have a larger footprint than single buggies, making them feel less stable when bumping up kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be double-travel systems, with the possibility of attaching two car seats or carrycots simultaneously. Certain models can be expanded to accommodate two of the same baby car seat in rear-facing mode.

However, they may not fit through doorways if the doors of the manufacturers aren't wide enough.

The majority of twin buggies are available in tandem or side-by-side models, which allow children to sit in a row, either next to another or behind. Side-by-side models tend to be narrower and easier to manoeuvre and can be suitable for children of varying age groups. Tandems are wider and may not fit into smaller car boots, but they offer the advantage of children being able to interact with each other.

Many twin buggies have a variety of features that parents appreciate. Look for adjustable five-point safety harnesses, multiple seat recline options and a huge front canopy that can be extended with a peek-a-boo hood.
