The children are placed side-byside in a double stroller with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They are typically narrower and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to maneuver through doors.
Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that a child can lie flat, while others are designed to fit carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a good choice for babies and toddlers.
lightweight double pushchair can even be converted into one buggy that has a large shopping basket beside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a great option for kids that's both practical and fun.

Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age as it means you can put your infant in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models can take both). Many of the top twin strollers come with the front seat that reclines and a rear seat that is upright.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat has 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 sibling or you can turn them towards the world to have more interaction.
