There are two types of double buggys which are tandem and twin. In tandem the seat is placed behind the other. A twin buggy has one main benefit that your children are able to be together instead of fighting over who sits in the front. Twin buggys are often wider and make it more difficult to navigate through aisles and doorways at the supermarket.
