In this situation you may be better off with a stadium-style model like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet which allows children to be facing either one or the other based on the configuration.

Tandem models that can seat one behind the other are easier to manage than side-by-side pushchairs. However, they're not as stable as single strollers and car seats. They aren't easy to push up curbs, and they could have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

To gain a real impression of the stability of doubles, you have to test it out with both seats in use because that is the way you will use it the most frequently.

It is recommended to test the brakes, too because they may be difficult to operate when both child seats are in use.
