Double buggys or twin prams, as they're also known, come in a variety of configurations that will fit any family. Some are side-by-side, while others have a front and other back for spaces that are narrow. Some are also able to be converted into single prams when your children outgrow them, which makes them an ideal option for growing families.
Side-by-side twin buggies (or tandem twin buggies) are easy to steer because their front wheels are able to be locked for extra stability, and there is usually more storage space behind them. They're also smaller than some other twin buggies, which means they are more convenient to maneuver through doors and on public transport. They're lighter than other twin prams, and can be more portable, but you may find it harder to move them on kerbs or on uneven terrain.
