There are three kinds of twin buggies: tandem, side-by-side and one-seated. Side-by-side models are ideal for twins and siblings who are very close in age. They can be seated together to talk and interact during walks. This style of twin buggy may be more compact than other types, which makes them easier to maneuver and pass through doors. However, they may be heavier and have a bigger footprint than single buggies, making them feel less stable climbing up the kerbs.

Tandem buggys are more likely be double pram stroller travel system models, with the ability to connect two carseats or carrycots at the same time. Certain models can be expanded to hold two babies in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They can be narrower than twin buggies with side-by-side seating, but can still be longer than single buggie models and may not always be able to pass through doors if manufacturers' 'standard' doors are too narrow.

The one-seated models are typically shorter and occupy less space on the pavement than other double buggy models. This makes them a great option for twins or siblings of varying ages, who would rather sit beside each other and avoid waking each other up by pulling their hair or fighting.
