Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing models, however, they have bigger footprints. However there are some smart models on the market that are able to keep their dimensions down such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the tiniest buggy available. It can even fit through doorways that are narrow.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger. They start as a single stroller and can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby, or a baby because of their innovative seat configurations.

Some models can even fold with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
