Choosing a Double Pushchair With Car Seat

They can be arranged in various ways and can be inserted into most doors/hallways. They are a bit longer than side by side buggies, but they're much more stable and can even be used on kerbs.

Easy to Manoeuvre

In addition, they can also be heavy and long to push, especially if the children are in car seats in the front.

Tandem buggies are more flexible, as they can be arranged in many different ways. One or both seats can be oriented either way or backwards. They're more expensive than side-by-side pushchairs but can be easier to fold and move. Many of them have a large basket which can be opened even when the seats are reclined.
