They are smaller and easier to navigate than tandem strollers, especially in stores with crowded aisles and at tight sidewalk corners. They are usually less expensive than convertible models.

If you intend to use it for a prolonged period of time, you'll also need to factor in the costs of replacing the stroller's tires, and possibly accessories like the child's snack tray or canopy as your children get older.

It's also crucial to keep a good posture while pushing the stroller in order to avoid back discomfort and other health issues.
