It is also necessary to alter your seating arrangement if you have twins of different ages or with different requirements.

Safety
The best twin buggies are robust and all-terrain with suspensions that are able to handle gravel, grass roads and kerbs.

There are three kinds of twin buggies: tandem and one-seated. Side-by-side models are ideal for twins or siblings very close in age as they allow both to sit together, so they can converse and interact during walks. This type of twin buggy is a bit narrower than others, making it easier to maneuver and pass through doors. They may be heavier, have a larger footprint and feel less stable when bumping kerbs.
Tandem buggy models tend to be double travel systems, with the option of attaching two carrycots or car seats simultaneously. Certain models can be extended to accommodate two identical baby car seats in rear-facing positions. They can be narrower and longer than twin buggies which are side-by-side, but they can also be narrower and longer than single buggies.
