Tandem

While side-byside models are better suitable for siblings of the same age group, tandem light double strollers have distinct appeals. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some even have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They often have larger sized canopies with peekaboo windows as well as a cup holder for the parent and padded leg cushions for little ones.
