Buying a Twin Pushchair

If you're looking to keep an eye on both of your munchkins in a tandem with a parent or simply enjoy the convenience of a double-pushchair, browse Direct4Baby's 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 modify them to toddlers and infants with a combination of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-by-side in a double travel buggy stroller that is side-by-side. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They are often narrower than a single and double stroller pushchair, so easier to pass through doors, and more evenly weighted, making them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Some have seats that are adjustable and permit a child to lay flat, while others can accommodate 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 into an all-in-one buggy with a large shopping basket beside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for kids that is both practical and enjoyable. However, it is essential to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model before you buy.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is great for children of the same age since you can place your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the best twin stroller twin strollers come with an adjustable front seat and a rear seat that is upright.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat offers a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can be positioned either way - which means your younger child can gaze at their sibling or you can open them to the world to have more interaction. You can also add a newborn cocoon for both seats to create an enclosed sleeping area for your children. Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover for protection.

You can also pick a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be opened to reveal an ample shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a double pushchair through narrow doors. It is a great option for urban excursions. The curvature of the frame and the four-wheel suspension make it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single to double buggy buggies. A second seat can then be added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a choice that is cost-effective, durable and flexible if you plan to have a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is a prime example of twin pushchairs that can be used in various configurations. It has been very popular with parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric.
