Tandem vs. Side-by-side: Defying the odds

Back in the day when we were in the market for a double stroller, I read many reviews that warned against tandem strollers b/c the children would fight over who gets to sit in the front seat since it offers the best view, the jealous child in the back seat would pull the front seat child's hair, etc, etc. Well, for lack of side-by-side double strollers in our price range that also accomodated two infant car seats, we settled for a tandem stroller- the lovely Graco Duoglider.

Fast forward 2 and a half years, and we have yet to witness a fight over who gets to sit in the front seat. Joshua and Caleb rarely quarrel over stroller seating arrangements, but if they do, the most hotly contested seat is the back seat. And the twin sitting in the back seat has yet to pull the hair of his brother sitting in the front seat. I have, however, on several occasions seen the boy in the back seat lovingly stroke the hair of his brother sitting up front!
