They are less likely to include carrycots for babies younger than six months old, and tend to be wider than single buggies. They can be maneuvered, however, and many have recline seats that are independent so that both kids can sit up or be reclined to snooze.

There are a variety of ways to fold your pushchair. Some models have an adjustable shoulder strap, making it easier to carry.
