If you're looking to watch both of your munchkins in a tandem with a parent or simply enjoy the convenience of a COSTWAY Double Seat Twin Tandem Pushchair Sale-pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of double and twin pushchairs.

Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in a new window, which allows you to adapt them for newborns and toddlers alike with the help of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

A double side-by-side buggy has the children positioned on opposite sides, and can usually accommodate two fixed seats. They are typically narrower and lighter than a single stroller making it easier to navigate through doors.

Some have seats that are adjustable and allow a child to lie flat, while others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic option right from the beginning and also works well through toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models can be converted into one buggy that has a large shopping basket beside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel option that is not just practical but also enjoyable for children. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you own.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is especially suitable for babies of similar ages because it allows you to have your baby in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models can accommodate both). Many of the best twin strollers come with the front seat that reclines and a rear seat that is upright.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable from birth, while the front seat can be positioned either way - which means that your child can look at their sibling or you can open them towards the world for more interaction. You can also add an infant cocoon to both seats to create a sleeping area for your little ones and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover to provide protection.

You can also select an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that pops up to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doorways and is an ideal choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.

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

The egg2 is a prime example of twin pushchairs designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It has become loved by parents due to its stylish design and high-quality fabric.
