Many brands have a double buggy as part of their range, from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available as side-by-side or convertible models that are inline.
Stability
If you have twins, or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable.

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children of the same age. They aren't easy to maneuver through narrow doorways or shopping aisles.

These models allow your children to face either you or eachother according to their configuration.
Tandem models, which put one behind the other is more manageable, but they aren't as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They can be a challenge to push up curbs and they could have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

Examine the ease with which it is to maneuver and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or using the front wheels that swivel. Also, you should test the brakes, as they can be difficult to use if both child seats have been installed.
