Buying a Twin Pushchair

If you're looking to watch both of your munchkins in a tandem that is oriented towards parents or simply appreciate the convenience of a double to single buggy-pushchair, browse Direct4Baby's range of double and twin pushchairs.

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

Side-by-Side

A side-byside double buggy can have the children positioned on opposite sides and usually has two seats fixed. They tend to be smaller and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to move through doorways.

Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that one child can lay flat and others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is a fantastic choice from birth, and also works well through the toddler years and beyond.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy that has a large basket next to it. This is an innovative alternative that is not only practical but also enjoyable for kids. However, it is essential to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before you buy.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is especially suitable for children of the same age because it allows you to put your infant in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models are made to accommodate both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs have a padded front seat that reclines and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way - this means your younger child can look at their older sibling or you can face them to the world for greater interaction. You can add an infant cocoon to both seats to create a sleeping area for your children. Additionally, the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood to protect.

Alternatively, you could select one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that opens up to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to maneuver a double running stroller pushchair into narrow doors. It's an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem pushchairs, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after where a second seat can be added in the front, behind or under. This is an option that's cost-effective, durable and adaptable if you're planning to have a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is an example of twin pushchairs that can be used in a variety of configurations. It is loved by parents due to its attractive design and high-quality fabric. It can be used as a single pushchair with carrycot, or as twins with two seat units. It could be used as a family-friendly rig for three children with the addition piggyback board attached to the chassis.

Convenience

When you're strolling through bustling shopping centres or enjoying peaceful walks in the park, choosing the right twin pushchair can transform your everyday routine. There are many options, from tandem prams which align your kids in a row, to twin buggies that are compact and designed for tight spaces. However, the most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to withstand the wear and tear of two kids while providing plenty of space for their belongings as well.

When looking for a new pushchair twin it is an excellent idea to test drive several models. This will give you a feel for how easy it is to steer and stop the pushchair as well as how it folds and puts up when not in use. It is also important to check the weight of the pushchair to make sure it's not too heavy to carry into your car and to keep in storage when not in use.
