Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a variety of nifty twin and double pushchairs.

Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in a new window that allows you to modify them for newborns and toddlers alike with a combination of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side double pushchair from birth buggy has children placed in a row, side-by-side and usually has two fixed seats. They tend to be thinner and lighter than a single to double pushchair stroller, making it easier to maneuver through doors.

Some seats are adjustable, which permit a child to lay flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin bed is a great choice for babies and toddlers.

Certain models can even be converted to an all-in-one buggy with a large shopping basket beside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel option that is not only practical, but also fun for children. It is essential to make sure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you already have.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems are arranged one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is great for children of the same age because you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit, or in a car seat or baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the top twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines flat, and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for infants while the front seat can be positioned either way. This lets your child to look at their older sibling or look out into the world. Include a newborn cocoon on both seats to create a lying-flat space for your children. The rear seat comes with an hood, raincover and a full recline.

Alternatively, you could choose a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily maneuver a double pushchair into narrow doorways. It is a great option for urban adventures. The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels makes it ideal for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start life as single buggies to which a second seat can be added either in front, behind or underneath. This is a low-cost option that lasts longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you're expecting another child in the near future.

The egg2 is a prime example of a twin pushchair designed to be used in many different configurations. It has been loved by parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used either as a single pushchair, with carrycot, or as twins with two seats. It can be used as a family-friendly rig for three kids, using a 'piggyback' board attached to the chassis.

Convenience

Whether you're strolling through busy shopping centers or taking in peaceful walks in the park, choosing the right twin pushchair will change your daily routine. From tandem strollers that align your children side-by-side, to twin buggies that are compact and designed to fit in tight spaces, there are a range of options. The most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair will be able to withstand the wear-and-tear of two children while providing enough space for their belongings.
