Buying a Twin Pushchair

Whether you want to monitor the two of your kids in a tandem with a parent or simply appreciate the convenience of a double-pushchair, browse Direct4Baby's range of twin and double pushchairs.

Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open a new window that can be modified to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycots and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side double travel stroller buggy has the children positioned in a row, side-by-side and will usually have two seats fixed. They tend to be smaller than single pushchairs, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways, and more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.

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

Certain models can even be converted into a single buggy with a huge shopping basket alongside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is an innovative option that is not only practical but also enjoyable for children. However, it is essential to check that any extra accessories are compatible with your model prior to purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are placed one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for children of the same age, because you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit, or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the top twin strollers have an adjustable front seat and a rear seat that is upright.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way, which means that your child's younger one can look at their older sibling or you can open them to the world to have more interaction. You can add a newborn cocoon for both seats to create an enclosed sleeping area for your infants and the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to protect.

You could also choose a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be popped up to reveal a huge shopping basket when it is not in use. This allows you to easily move a double pushchair around narrow doors. It's a great choice for urban adventures. The bent frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem Pushchairs And Prams, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat can be added in front, behind or beneath. This is a choice that's affordable, durable, and flexible if you plan to have another child in the near future.
