Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a variety of innovative twin and double buggy for twins pushchairs.
Our top picks are the egg2 dual use pushchairsOpens an entirely new window that can be adjusted for toddlers and newborns with a combination carrycots and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
The children are positioned side-by-side in a off road double buggy stroller with a side-byside design. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They tend to be thinner and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to navigate through doors.
Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that one child can lay flat while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin bed is an excellent option for toddlers and babies.
Some models can even be converted into a single buggy with a large shopping basket beside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel alternative that is not only practical, but also fun for kids. It is crucial to ensure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you already have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair and provides two places for children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of the same age, because you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a car seat or in a car seat or baby carrier (though not all models support both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs come with a cushioned front seat that reclines and a rear upright seat.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way - which means your younger child can look at their older sibling or you can open them towards the world for more interaction. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat place for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a raincover, hood and the recline is complete.
You can also opt for an option like 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. This makes it easy to maneuver a lightweight double stroller pushchair through narrow doorways and is an excellent choice for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels make it perfect for uneven surfaces.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat can be added either in front, behind or underneath. This is a low-cost option that will last longer and offer you a lot of flexibility in the event that you're expecting another child in the future.
The egg2 is a prime example of twin pushchairs designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It has been loved by parents due to its stylish design and high-quality fabric. It can be used either as a single pushchair that comes with a carrycot, or twins with two seat units.
