Tandem
The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair, and provides two places for children. This arrangement is ideal for children of the same age, because you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though not all models support both).

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can be positioned either way - this means that your child can look at their older sibling or you can face them out to the world for more interaction. Include a newborn cocoon on each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a hood, raincover and an entire recline.

The bent frame and four-wheel suspension of this buggy makes it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces too.
