Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and double buggy pushchairs.

Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open an entirely new window that can be adjusted for toddlers and newborns with a combination carrycot and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-byside in a double stroller that is side-by-side. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They are usually narrower than a single pushchair, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Some have adjustable seats that permit a child to lay flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent choice from birth, and also works well through toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models can even be converted to a single buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for children that is both practical and fun. It is essential to ensure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair and provides two places for children. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age as it lets you have your baby in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models are made to take both). Many of the top twin strollers have the front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for babies, while the front seat can be positioned in any direction. This allows your child to look at their older sibling or face the world. You can add an infant cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your children. Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to protect.

You could also opt for one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be folded up to reveal a large shopping basket when not being used. This makes it easy to manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doorways and is an excellent choice for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame 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 can be added to the front, back or underneath. This is an option that's cost-effective, durable and adaptable if you're planning to have another child in the near-term.

The egg2 is a classic example of this kind of twin pushchair that's been designed to be used in a variety of configurations and has been loved by parents due to its sleek design and high-end fabrics. It can be used as a single pushchair with carrycot, or as twins with two seat units. Also, it can be used as a family rig for three children with the addition piggyback board attached to the chassis.

Convenience

If you're walking through bustling shopping centres or enjoying peaceful walks in the park, the right twin pushchair can change your daily routine. From tandem strollers that align your children side-by-side, to twin buggies that are compact and designed for tight spaces, there's a variety of options to choose from. The most important thing to think about is whether the twin pushchair will be sturdy enough to stand up to the wear and tear of two children, while still providing enough space for their belongings.

When shopping for a pushchair twin it's an excellent idea to try out a few models.
