The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets which seat. It is also a good alternative for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to view each other. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, but they also are more spacious and longer when they are they are pushed.
Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This can be an affordable option for families that are expecting more than one child and it means that you don't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child has outgrown it. It might not be the best choice for twins in the beginning stages, since they will need to be of the same weight and age.
Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in a double or single mode and has two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward steering wheel which means it can be used on trails that are off-road.
