Side-by-side buggies are slimmer than front-facing ones, however they tend to have bigger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most sophisticated models on the market.

Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheels are easier for you to maneuver and control than double pushchairs that have four wheels.

Comfort
If you intend to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging it's worth investing in one that can take on rough terrain.

Some models can be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller when not being used.
