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, since you can place your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit, or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both).
