Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a range of nifty twin and double pushchairs.

Some of our favourites 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 carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

The children are positioned side-by-side in a double stroller that is side-by-side. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They are usually smaller and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to maneuver through doors.

Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that a child can lie flat while others are designed to fit carrycots. This type of Chicco OHlalà Twin Double Stroller: Lightweight Compact Versatile bed is an excellent option for toddlers and babies.

Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy that has a large basket on the side. This is an innovative option that is not just practical but also enjoyable for kids. However, it is essential to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model before you buy.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar ages as it means you can have your newborn in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models can take both). Many of the best twin pushchairs have a padded front seat that reclines flat, and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for babies, while the front seat can be placed in any way. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling or look out into the world. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat area for your children. The rear seat has a hood, raincover and a full recline.

If you prefer, you can select a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use.

The bent frame and four-wheel suspension of this buggy makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces as well.

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 under. It's a cost-effective choice that will last longer and give you the most flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the future.
