Buying a Twin Pushchair

If you're looking ready to grow double stroller watch both of your munchkins in a tandem with a parent or simply appreciate the convenience of a double pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's innovative range of twin and double buggy sale pushchairs.

Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open in a new window, which allows you to adapt them to toddlers and infants with the help of seat units and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side cheap double stroller buggy has children placed in a row, side-by-side and usually has 2 fixed seats. They tend to be smaller than single pushchairs, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly weighed, making them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.

Some seats can be adjusted so that a child can lie flat while others are designed to fit carrycots. This kind of twin bed is an excellent option for toddlers and babies.

Certain models can even be converted into an all-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a great option for kids that is both practical and enjoyable. However, it is important to check that any extra accessories are compatible with your model prior to purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems are arranged one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for children of the same age as it means you can have your baby in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are designed to accommodate both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs come with an upholstered front seat that reclines flat, and an upright seat in the rear.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat offers a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can be set either way - this means that your child can look at their sibling or you can open them to the world for greater interaction. You can also add a baby cocoon to both seats to create a sleeping area for your infants and the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood to protect.

Alternatively, you could opt for a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily manoeuvre a double pushchair with car seat pushchair through narrow doors, making it the ideal option for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces too.
