Side-by-Side

The size, quality and weight of a double stroller dramatically impact how easy it is to push. The kind of tires, wheels and suspension, as well as the weight and size, affects the ease at which a double stroller can move and turn in tight spaces. Of course the number of kids and the amount of things you put in them determines how hard or easy it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers feature two seats that are next to one another and are generally considered to be easier to navigate than tandem or front-to-back models. However, the bigger frame of a side-byside stroller typically means that it is more difficult to pass through standard doors. And, depending on the height of your kids' car seats, a side-byside stroller might not be able to fit them comfortably.

The seat backs of side-byside strollers are usually lower than single strollers. This makes it difficult for older children to look at the surroundings or converse with their peers. The seating arrangement can cause conflicts among siblings if you have children of different age groups.
