Side-by-Side
The children are positioned side-by-side in a side-by-side double Seat Stroller stroller double. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They are typically thinner and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to maneuver through doors.

This is an innovative alternative that is not only practical, but also fun for children. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair, and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is especially suitable for children of the same age as it means you can have your baby in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are made to take both). Many of the top twin strollers come with the front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.
The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat offers a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can face either way - which means that your child can look at their older sibling or you can face them out to the world for more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat place for your children. The rear seat comes with an hood, raincover and the recline is complete.
Alternatively, you could choose a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that opens up to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use.

The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.
