Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a variety of nifty twin and double jogging stroller pushchairs.
Our favorites are the egg2 dual use pushchairsOpens an entirely new window that can be adapted for toddlers and newborns by combining carrycots and a seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A double pushchair from birth side-by-side buggy has children placed in a row, side-by-side and will usually have 2 fixed seats. They are usually smaller and lighter than a single stroller making it easier to navigate through doorways.
Some seats can be adjusted so that a child can lie flat, while others are designed to fit carrycots. This type of twin bed is an excellent choice for babies and toddlers.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy that has a large basket on the side. This is a novel option that is not just practical but also fun for children. It is crucial to make sure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems are arranged one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for children of the same age because you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). A lot of the top twin strollers come with the front seat that reclines and an rear seat that is upright.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat offers a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can be set either way, which means that your child's younger one can gaze at their sibling or you can open them to the world for more interaction. You can also add a baby cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your infants and the rear seat is equipped with a raincover and hood to protect.
Alternatively, you could choose one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that opens up to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to move a double pram pushchair pushchair through narrow doors. It's a great choice for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a solution that's cost-effective, durable and adaptable if you're planning to have another child in the near future.
