Buying a Twin Pushchair
Whether you want to monitor the two of your kids in a tandem with a parent or simply enjoy the convenience of a double buggy travel system-pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's innovative range of twin and double pushchairs.
Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open an entirely new window that can be modified for both newborns and toddlers by combining carrycots and a seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-byside double buggy with car seat (Glamorouslengths published a blog post) buggy can have the children positioned in a row, side-by-side, and can usually accommodate 2 fixed seats. They are typically narrower and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to navigate through doors.
Some seats are adjustable, which allow one child to lie flat, while others can accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a good choice for babies and toddlers.
Some models can be converted to an all-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for children that is both practical and enjoyable. It is crucial to make sure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are set one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal 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 the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the top twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines and an upright seat in the rear.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example 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 - this means your younger child can gaze at their sibling or you can face them out to the world for greater interaction. You can add a baby 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 pick an option like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be opened to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to maneuver a double travel stroller pushchair into narrow doorways. It's a great choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven surfaces.
Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat could be added either in the front, behind or under. This is a low-cost option that will last longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the future.
The egg2 is a classic model of this kind of twin pushchair, which has been designed to be used in a variety of configurations and has been a hit with parents for its sleek design and premium fabrics.

Or, it could be used as a family-friendly rig for three kids, using an 'eggyback' board that is attached to the chassis.
