Double strollers are available in two main styles: tandem and side-by-side.

It's not the most affordable double stroller available, however it does come with distinctive characteristics that differentiate it from other strollers, such as the large shopping basket that sits behind the seat when it is in the face-to-parent mode.

Style

Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier. If you are planning to purchase a buggie that you intend to use for several years be aware of this.

Side-by-side is more traditional and has two fixed seats mounted on a single wide stroller frame. They may not have the same number of configurations, and are best suited for babies who are able to sit on their own but do not require the back support provided by an infant car seat.
