Double buggies are usually heavier and bulkier. If you are planning to purchase a buggie that you will be using for a long time be aware of this. They do have more storage space and a larger basket.

The most popular double buggy designs are side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems are designed with children seated side-byside, giving them the same perspective. This can help avoid sibling fights over where to sit. However, they're still not completely safe, and children can kick or punch each on the other while they're riding. Side-by-side is more conventional, with two fixed seats mounted on a single stroller frame. They don't offer the same number of configurations, and they're usually ideal for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't require the back support of an infant car seat.
