Buying a Twin Pushchair
If you're looking to keep an eye on the two of your kids in a tandem with a parent or simply appreciate the convenience of a double pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of twin and double pushchairs.
Our favourites include the egg2 dual use pushchairsOpens an entirely new window that can be adapted to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycots and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-by-side double buggy has the children positioned in a row, side-by-side and will usually have two fixed seats. They tend to be narrower and lighter than a single stroller making it easier to move through doors.
Some have seats that are adjustable and permit a child to lay flat and others can accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is a fantastic option right from the beginning and is also a great choice through toddlerhood and beyond.
Certain models can even be converted to a single buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel alternative that is not only practical but also fun for children. It is essential to make sure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair, and provides two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age as it lets you have your baby in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models can take both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs come with a padded front seat that reclines flat, and a rear upright seat.
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 set in any direction. This allows your child to look at their older sibling or look out into the world. You can also include a newborn cocoon for both seats to create an enclosed lie-flat space for your little ones and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover to provide protection.
Alternatively, you could select one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to manoeuvre a double pram buggy pushchair through narrow doors and is an ideal choice for urban adventures. The curvature of the frame and the four-wheel suspension of this buggy makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.
Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies, after which a second seat can be added in the front, behind or under. It's a cost-effective choice that will last longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the future.
The egg2 is a classic model of this kind of twin pushchair, which has been designed to be used in a variety of configurations and has been loved by parents due to its sleek style and high-quality fabrics.
