If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely to require an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. double strollers buggies are typically heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also easier to maneuver in tighter doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children at the same time.
Tandem pushchairs put one child in front the other. They're a good option for children who are similar in age and are good friends. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch one another, and children on different heights can squabble over who sits higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the back. Your child's older will not be sitting at the lowest part of the car and won't have much of a look out.
