Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby provides a range of innovative twin and double to single buggy pushchairs.

A few of our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs double that open in a new window, which allows you to adapt them to toddlers and infants by combining seat units and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-byside in a small double stroller stroller with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They tend to be narrower than a single pushchair, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways, and more evenly weighted, making them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.

Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that a child can lie flat while others are designed to fit carrycots. This kind of twin is a great option from the beginning, and also works well through toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models can even be converted into an all-in-one buggy with a large shopping basket beside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel alternative that is not only practical but also fun for kids. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you have.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair and offers two places for children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of the same age, as you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit or in the car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the best twin strollers have a front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies, while the front seat can be set either way. This allows your child to watch their older sibling or face the world. Add a newborn baby cocoon to each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a hood, raincover and a full recline.

You could also choose one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be popped up to reveal a huge shopping basket when it is not in use. This lets you easily move a double pushchair from birth pushchair around narrow doors. It's an excellent option for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame 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 where a second seat can be added either in the front, behind or under. This is a choice that's affordable, durable, and flexible if you plan to have a second child in the near-term.
