An Pushchair Twin Success Story You ll Never Imagine
Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby provides a range of nifty twin and double buggy pushchairs.
Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in new window which allow you to make them suitable for toddlers and babies with a combination of seats and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
A double side-by-side buggy has the children positioned on opposite sides and will usually have two fixed seats. They tend to be narrower than single pushchairs, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways, and more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.
Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that a child can lie flat, while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin bed is an excellent choice for babies and toddlers.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy that has a large basket on the side. This is an innovative option that is not just practical but also fun for children. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are placed one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is great for children of the same age, as you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a car seat or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models allow both). Many of the best twin pushchairs come with a cushioned front seat that reclines flat and an upright seat in the rear.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies, while the front seat can be set either way. This allows your child to watch their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can also include an infant cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed lay-flat area for your infants and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover to provide protection.
You can also pick an option 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 allows you to easily maneuver a double pushchair into narrow doorways. It's an excellent option for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can then be added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that will last longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the near future.
The egg2 is a prime example of twin pushchairs that can be used in various configurations. It has been very popular with parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used as a single with an infant seat and carrycot or as a double with two seat units or even as a triple-child family rig by adding the use of a piggy back board that attaches to the rear of the chassis.
Convenience
The right twin pushchair can change your routine, whether you're walking through busy shopping malls or taking tranquil park walks. From tandem strollers that align your babies side-by-side, to compact twin buggies designed for tight spaces, there's a variety of options available. However, the most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to endure the wear and tear of two kids and still provide ample space for their belongings as well.
