Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we've tested are side-by-side models and are generally recommended for kids who can stand up without assistance because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. That said there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 double stroller for twins and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy and padded 5-point harnesses.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -- if your children are of the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. And if they're taller than each other, a tandem model could be better for them, as it allows them to look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight off road double buggy pushchairs (www.google.com.uy) have their own charms. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle.
