Side-by-Side

The children are positioned side-by-side in a thule double stroller stroller with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They are typically thinner and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to move through doors.

Some have seats that are adjustable and allow one child to lie flat and others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent option right from the beginning and also works well through the toddler years and beyond.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy that has a large basket next to it. This is a great option for children that is both practical and enjoyable. However, it is important to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model prior to purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for children who are the same age since you can place your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the top twin pushchairs come with an upholstered front seat that reclines flat, and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies and the front seat can be placed either way. This allows your child to look at their older sibling or look out into the world. You can also add a newborn cocoon for both seats to create a lay-flat area for your children. Additionally, the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood to provide protection.

Alternatively, you could opt for a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that pops up to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doors, making it the ideal option for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.

Some tandem pushchairs such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single to double stroller buggies. A second seat is then added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that will last longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you're expecting another child in the future.
