Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can stand up without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. That said they do have a few advantages.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren’t foolproof, though — if your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they are at different heights, then it is possible that a tandem design is ideal for them as it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others come with reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easy to access and exit from however their baskets tend to be smaller than those on single buggies.

However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally perform well in handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they’re usually significantly lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have a decent amount of storage space. It’s important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren’t as good at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren’t able to handle a lot of shopping.
