Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-byside in a side-by-side double stroller. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They tend to be smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to pass through doors and are also more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Tandem
The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair, and provides two places for children.
