Some models have a second seat under the carriage, which can be handy for shopping or for older children who prefer to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Tandem pushchairs are often wider than side-by-side models, and they can be quite lengthy too. However, they are incredibly adaptable and can be made to fit with the majority of infant car seats.

The straps should be easy to adjust for height, and the buckles should not require two hands to tighten. They must be durable and strong enough to withstand repeated use. If the buckles can be difficult to operate, they could be unsafe. They should be replaced. Seats should be able recline easily and have a large UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo window. The reclining feature is great for infants who prefer to sleep or older toddlers who want to sit up and look at the world around them.

Tandem buggies usually start out as a single buggy, and include adapters to add an additional seat or a baby car seat to the frame. They usually have a smaller footprint than side-byside strollers, but they may still be too large for certain doorways. They are also heavy and difficult to move over and down kerbs.

On the other hand, side-by-side buggies are often smaller than tandem models. They are more comfortable for twins to handle and can accommodate older siblings. They are more expensive, and may not be able to fit through all doors. The joovy double bundle is a good example of a model that has seats that face each other either outwards or inwards.

The majority of the models we tested had a one-step procedure for attaching and detaching the car seat from the frame. This is a huge benefit for parents who are on the on the go and don't want to play around with several steps. Certain models, such as the Doona or the BOB Revo Flex 3.0 Combo, have an attachment with two steps that requires pressing into place and strapping on. This additional step increases the likelihood of the car seat being installed incorrectly. Some strollers were difficult to adjust the crotch or shoulder straps. Likewise, some buckles for car seats could be difficult to operate.
