They tend to be smaller than single pushchairs, making them easier to get through doorways and are also more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.
Some have adjustable seats that allow one child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a great choice for babies and toddlers.
