Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-by-side in a double pram and pushchair stroller with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They are typically thinner and lighter than a single stroller making it easier to maneuver through doors.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy with a basket on the side. This is a fantastic option for children that is practical and enjoyable. It is important to make sure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you own.

Tandem

Twin Pushchairs and prams, also referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is great for babies who are the same age because you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit, or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all models allow both). A lot of the top twin strollers have a front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for babies and the front seat can be set in any direction. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling or look out into the world. You can add an infant cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your children. Additionally, the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood to provide protection.
