Buying a Twin Pushchair

Whether you want to keep an eye on both of your children in a parent-facing tandem or simply take advantage of the convenience of a double pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of double and twin pushchairs.

Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open in new window which allow you to modify them for toddlers and babies with the help of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side double pram buggy buggy has the children positioned on opposite sides and usually has two seats fixed. They are usually narrower and lighter than a single stroller making it easier to move through doorways.

Some have seats that are adjustable and allow one child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic option from the beginning, and is also a great choice through the toddler years and beyond.

Some models can be converted to an all-in-one buggy with a large shopping basket beside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for kids that's both practical and enjoyable. It is essential to make sure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you own.

Tandem

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

The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of 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 - which means that your child's younger one can look at their older sibling or you can turn them towards the world for more interaction. You can add a baby cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed sleeping area for your children. Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a raincover and hood to provide protection.

You could also choose a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be opened to reveal a large shopping basket when it is not in use. This lets you easily maneuver a double pushchair through narrow doors and is the ideal option for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front, back or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that lasts longer and gives you ultra flexibility in the event that you're expecting another child in the future.

The egg2 is a prime example of a twin pushchair designed to be used in various configurations. It is very popular with parents due to its attractive design and high-quality fabric. It can be used as a single pushchair that comes with carrycot, or as twins with two seat units. It could be used as a family rig for three kids, using a 'piggyback' board attached to the chassis.

Convenience

The right twin pushchair will transform your daily routine, whether you're jogging through busy shopping malls or enjoying peaceful walks in the park. From tandem strollers that align your babies side-by-side, to compact twin buggies engineered for tight spaces, there are a range of options to choose from. The most important thing to think about is whether or not the twin pushchair will be sturdy enough to stand up to the wear and tear of two children while providing enough space for their belongings.

When shopping for a pushchair twin, it's recommended to try out several models. You'll get an idea of how it is easy to control and stop your pushchair, as well as how easily it folds and can be stored away when not in use. You should also check out the weight of the pushchair to ensure it's not too heavy to lift into your car, and to keep in storage when not in use.

There are numerous accessories for twin pushchairs. These include foot muffs and rain covers. These optional extras are available from numerous top brands for twin pushchairs. Make sure to browse the selection and determine which one is the best for your family. It's important to note that some twin pushchairs might include a variety of these extras as standard, so be sure to check before you purchase.

Twin pushchairs can be quite heavy, so it's crucial to select the one that's able to fit through doorways and other spaces that are tight. If you're not sure you're not sure, ask an employee at the store you're shopping with to determine the width of a few door frames in order to give you an idea of the space you'll need for a twin pushchair.

This popular twin pushchair comes with many useful accessories included. They include seats that can be reversible as well as foot muffs and rain covers. This is an excellent choice for parents who are seeking a twin pushchair that can be used as early as the moment of birth and can be used by children up to four years of age.
