Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side designs and are generally recommended for children who can sit up unassisted since these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses.

And if they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it lets them confront each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best double strollers suited to siblings with similar ages, tandem lightweight double strollers have distinct appeals. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some come with reversible seats or an extra carrycot that is located in the middle.
