Double or twin pushchairs can be side by side or tandem (one in front of the other). There are pros and cons to both. Your other consideration will be town or country. Do you need off road? All terrain buggies are often more robust so can be a great choice for those with twins. If you live in town though then a lighter more umbrella style of buggy might be a better choice.
Side By Side - the main advantage of a double/twin side by side buggy is that your children are next to each other so they can ineract. This eliminates the need to 'take turns' or decide who gets the best seat as can happen with a tandem! Both seats of your side by side will be the same size. Perhaps therefore better for twins or siblings close in age. A couple of other plus's - they are easier to get up and down kerbs, the weight is more evenly distributed and there is often a great deal more storage that is easier to get to than in a tandem. But there are cons as with everything. Width is the biggest one.If there is a doorway you must fit through in your home or local town then do measure before buying. There are now slimline doubles, the Mountain Buggy Duet being the best in the slimline field. Just have width and weight in your head when looking. If you use public transport and need to fold and lift your buggy into your car on a daily basis then the weight will be an important factor for you.
Tandem - Tandem buggies are the same width as single buggies (obviously!) You will therefore take up less space on the pavement, easily negotiate any shop or house doorway and if choosing carefully you can fold and lift for public transport or boot storage quickly and easily. Tandems up until now have not been a great choice for twins if I'm honest as generally speaking there is one big seat and one small seat but the market has moved on and there are now a couple of tandem options that are just peachy for twins!
