This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being wider than the side-by-side doubles. This makes it difficult to maneuver through doorways, and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with paved surfaces. They're also lighter than many side-bysides, so you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these types of strollers aren't as good at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to handle a lot of shopping.
