Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a variety of innovative twin and double pushchairs.

A few of our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in a new window that allows you to adapt them for toddlers and babies with the help of seats and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side double buggy has the children positioned on opposite sides and usually has two seats fixed. They are often narrower than a single pushchair, so easier to get through doorways and are also more evenly weighed, making them easy to manoeuvre between kerbs.

Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that a child can lie flat while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of Hauck Atlantic Twin Double Buggy in Grey bed is a good option for toddlers and babies.

Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller with a basket on the side. This is a unique alternative that is not only practical but also enjoyable for children. It is essential to make sure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for babies of similar ages as it lets you put your infant in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models can take both). Many of the best twin pushchairs come with an upholstered front seat that reclines and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can be positioned either way - which means your younger child can gaze at their sibling or you can turn them out to the world for greater interaction. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat area for your children. The rear seat is equipped with an hood, raincover and a full recline.

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 makes it easy to move a Double Stroller for Twins: Gray Infant And Toddler pushchair through narrow doorways. It is a great choice for urban adventures. The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels makes it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can then be added to the front or back, or under. This is a solution that's affordable, durable, and flexible if you plan to have another child in the near future.

The egg2 is a prime example of twin pushchairs that can be used in a variety of configurations. It is loved by parents due to its attractive design and high-quality fabric. It can be used either as a single pushchair that comes with a carrycot, or twins with two seat units. Or, it can be used as a family rig that can accommodate three children, with the addition of piggyback board connected to the chassis.

From tandem prams that align your babies side-by-side, to compact twin buggies designed for tight spaces, there are a range of options available.
