15 Weird Hobbies That Will Make You More Effective At Pushchair Twin

Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby provides a range of innovative twin and double pushchairs.

Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in a new window, which allows you to modify them to toddlers and infants with the help of seat units and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

A side-byside double buggy can have children placed on opposite sides and will usually have two seats fixed. They are often smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to get through doorways and are more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver between kerbs.

Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lay flat, while others are designed to fit carrycots. This kind of twin is a great option from the beginning, and also works well through the toddler years and beyond.

Some models can even be converted into an all-in-one buggy with a large shopping basket beside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is an excellent option for children that is both practical and fun. It is crucial to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model prior to purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems are arranged one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar ages because it allows you to have your baby in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models can accommodate both). Many of the top twin pushchairs come with a padded front seat that reclines flat and an upright seat in the rear.

The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be set either way - this means that your child's younger one can look at their sibling or you can face them out to the world for more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a hood, raincover and the recline is complete.
