The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face one another. Some parents like this design because it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets which position. It's also a good option for places like the zoo, where the children can easily see each one another. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggys however they tend to be larger and may feel longer when they are pushed.

This is an economical option for families with more than one child and it means you won't need to buy an entirely new buggy once your older child outgrows it. It may not be the best choice for twins who are in their beginning stages, since they'll need to be of the same weight and age.
