Side-by-Side

Certain models can even be converted into one buggy that has an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for children that is both practical and enjoyable. It is important to make sure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you own.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is great for children of the same age, as you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sat 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 an adjustable front seat and a rear seat that is upright.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can be set either way - this means that your child can gaze at their sibling or you can turn them towards the world for more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat space for your children. The rear seat comes with an hood, raincover and a full recline.

You could also opt for one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be popped up to reveal an ample shopping basket when not being used. This lets you easily manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doors and is the ideal option for urban adventures. The bent frame and four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces as well.

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