This kind of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these types of strollers generally are capable of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space.

It's a bit easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths, but even this can be difficult. Some are easier to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to a family's changing needs. They are typically single buggies and include adapters that permit you to include a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some are able to be converted to a single one when your older child starts to walk or wants to ride buggyboards.
