Buying a Twin Pushchair

If you're looking to watch both of your children in a parent-facing tandem or simply appreciate the convenience of a double pushchair, browse Direct4Baby's range of sit n stand double stroller and twin pushchairs.

Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens an entirely new window that can be adapted for toddlers and newborns by combining carrycots and a seat unit.

Side-by-Side

A double stroller with car seat side-by-side buggy has the children positioned in a row, side-by-side and will usually have two fixed seats. They are often smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to get through doorways and are also more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.

Some have seats that are adjustable and allow a child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This kind of twin stroller is an excellent choice from birth, and can be used throughout toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy that has a large basket attached to it. This is a great option for children that is both practical and enjoyable. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before you buy.

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 because it allows you to have your newborn in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are made to 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 a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for babies, while the front seat can be set in any way. This allows your child to look at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can also add a baby cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed sleeping area for your children. Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to provide protection.

Alternatively, you could opt for one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily maneuver a double Buggy travel system pushchair through narrow doors and is an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels make it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that lasts longer and give you the most flexibility in the event that you're expecting another child in the near 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 a hit with parents for its sleek style and high-quality fabrics. It can be used either as a single pushchair that comes with carrycot, or as twins with two seat units. It can be used as a family rig that can accommodate three children with the addition an 'eggyback' board that is that is attached to the chassis.

Convenience

If you're walking through bustling shopping centres or enjoying tranquil park walks, the right twin pushchair can transform your routine. From tandem prams that align your children side-by-side, to compact twin buggies engineered for small spaces, there's a variety of options. However, the most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to endure the wear and tear of two children, whilst offering ample space for their belongings too.
