Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a variety of nifty twin and double pushchairs.

Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open an entirely new window that can be modified for both newborns and toddlers by combining carrycots and a seat unit.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-byside in a lightweight double stroller stroller that is side-by-side. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They are often narrower than single pushchairs, making them easier to get through doorways, and more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre between kerbs.

Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lay flat and others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a great choice for babies and toddlers.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy with a basket attached to it. This is a novel option that is not only practical but also fun for children. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you own.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair, and provides two places for children. This arrangement is great for babies of the same age, because you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all terrain double buggy models support both). A lot of the top twin strollers double strollers have the front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for infants, while the front seat can be placed in any direction. This allows your child to watch their older sibling or face the world. You can add a baby cocoon to both seats to create a sleeping area for your infants and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover for protection.

You can also select a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that opens up to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to manoeuvre a double buggy newborn pushchair through narrow doors and is the ideal option for urban adventures. The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.

Some tandem pushchairs such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front or back, or under. This is a low-cost option that will last longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is an example of a twin pushchair designed to be used in many different configurations. It has been very popular with parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used as a one-person pushchair with infant seats and a carrycot, or as a twin with two seat units, or even as a three-child family rig with the addition of a 'piggyback' board that is attached to the rear of the chassis.
