Tandem buggies, which are easier to turn than side-by-sides are also very popular. This is due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first one, instead of on top of it. They're typically wider than a side-by-side and can be heavy when folded, so it's essential to make sure they fit through doors and public transport. They can be used for twins, a baby and toddler or three kids with the addition of a buggy.

Lastly there are the'single-to-double' convertibles which can be used as a single pushchair from birth then convert to a double by attaching a second seat, carrycot or car seat to their clever frame.
