Stability

Tandem models, which place one behind the next is more manageable, but they aren't as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They can be a challenge to lift up curbs and they might have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

It is recommended to test the brakes, too, as they can be difficult to operate if both child seats are attached.

One seat can also be set to lie flat so that a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot which is attached to it.
