Tandems, side-by-sides and tandems are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems place the children on opposite sides, which gives them both the same view. It can also help avoid sibling arguments over who should sit where. However, they're still not completely safe, and children are able to punch or kick each one another while riding. Side-by-sides are a classic model, featuring two fixed seats assembled on one frame for a stroller. They may not offer the same variety of options and are typically best for babies who have mastered unassisted sitting but don't yet need the back support of a car seat.

Tandem buggies are originally a single pushchair, however they can be fitted with adaptors that permit the addition of an additional seat or carrycot or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame.

Although a side-by-side is generally larger than other types of double buggy it is able to move between kerbs since the weight is distributed more evenly. But it's not 100% reliable to avoid sibling fights and children in the same seat can kick or punch each other when they ride.

A front-facing tandem could be an excellent alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older children.

Some kids may feel excluded in a tandem that is facing toward the rear, as they don't have the same perspective.
