Buying a Twin Pushchair

If you're looking to watch the two of your kids in a tandem with a parent or simply appreciate the convenience of a double pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's innovative range of double and twin pushchairs.

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

Side-by-Side

A double side-by-side buggy has children placed on opposite sides and usually has two fixed seats. They are usually thinner and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to maneuver through doorways.

Some seats are adjustable, which allow a child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent option from the beginning, sit and stand double stroller is also a great choice through toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models can be converted into a single buggy with a huge shopping basket alongside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is an innovative alternative that is not only practical, but also fun for children. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other, and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is great for babies who are the same age because you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit, or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all models allow both). Many of the best twin strollers have an adjustable front seat and a rear seat that is upright.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants and the front seat can be positioned in any direction. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling or look out into the world. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat area for your children. The rear seat has 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 folded up to reveal an ample shopping basket when not being used. This lets you easily move a double pushchair around narrow doorways. It is a great choice for urban adventures. The bent frame and four-wheel suspension of this buggy makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem double buggy pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a choice that is cost-effective, durable and adaptable if you're planning to have a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is an example of twin pushchairs that can be used in many different configurations. It is very popular with parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric.
