Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a range of nifty twin and double pushchairs.

Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens a new window that can be adjusted for both newborns and toddlers with a combination carrycots and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side double buggy has the children positioned side by side, and can usually accommodate two fixed seats. They are usually thinner and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to maneuver through doorways.

Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lie flat and others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic option right from the beginning and also works well through toddlerhood, and beyond.

Certain models can even be converted to one buggy that has a large shopping basket beside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for children that is both practical and enjoyable. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged one behind the other, and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for babies of similar age as it lets you have your baby in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models are made to take both). Many of the top twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants, while the front seat can be placed either way. This allows your child to watch their older sibling or face the world. You can also include an infant cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed lie-flat space for your infants and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover to protect.

You can also pick an option like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be popped up to reveal a large shopping basket when it is not being used. This lets you easily maneuver a double pushchair through narrow doorways and is the ideal option for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension of this buggy makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat can be added either in the front, behind or under. This is a low-cost option that will last longer and give you the most flexibility in the event that you're expecting another child in the near future.

The egg2 is a prime example of twin pushchairs that can be used in various configurations. It has been very popular with parents due to its attractive design and high-quality fabric. It can be used as a single pushchair, with a carrycot, or as twins with two seats. Also, it could be used as a family-friendly rig for three children, with the addition of a 'piggyback' board attached to the chassis.

Convenience

From tandem pushchairs that place your children side-by-side, to compact twin buggies designed for small spaces, twin pushchairs there's a variety of options to choose from.
