While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. They can take a bigger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They are larger, and easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. Many also feature more generously sized canopies with peekaboo windows, as well as one cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for young children.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that offers great value.
