The majority of them have seats that recline flat and can be adjusted in different positions. This includes two different lie-flat positions specifically for newborns. They also have a generous amount of storage space to store your shopping and gear. Some models include a large basket behind the seat, which is facing you. This allows you to easily access items that your children may need while out on excursions.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is a good example of an excellent side-by-side tandem pushchair. It's the thinnest twin pushchair on the market and has a footprint about the same size as one single buggy.

The lab experts also appreciated how large it was, with an enormous shopping basket, front and rear suspensions to help with bumps and uneven surfaces.
