They're also usually wider than single-to-double strollers but are still easy to move around, even up and down kerbs.

They may have an attachment in front for a third child, which is commonly referred to as a joey chair and can be an excellent method of keeping children in close proximity while also giving them an expansive view of the world around them.

Some models have a maximum frame weight and a weight limit on the carrycots or seats. This can help you decide which one is best for your family. The Joolz Geo 3 in one pushchair Twin, for instance has a maximum weight of 16kg per seat.
