Double Stroller Debate: Tandem vs. Side-by-Side

Strollers for two babies come in two basic configurations: tandem (or front/back) where the seats are arranged in a line with one behind the other. In the other model, usually called "side-by-side", the children sit next to each other, facing the same direction from the same linear position. There are advantages and disadvantages to both styles, and most parents have a strong preference for one or the other.

Current Status

Good options exist for both choices. Trying to decide before your babies are born is difficult. You might want both!

Fuss

Strollers are really useful when you're trying to manage more than one infant or toddler. They're expensive, so you want to make a good investment.
