Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby provides a range of innovative twin and double pushchairs.
Our favourites include the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens an entirely new window that can be adapted to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycot and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
The children are positioned side-by-side in a double stroller for twins stroller with a side-byside design. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They are typically smaller and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to navigate through doors.
Some have seats that are adjustable and allow a child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin bed is an excellent option for toddlers and babies.
Certain models can even be converted to a single buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is an innovative alternative that is not only 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 known as tandems, are set one behind the other, and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is ideal for children of the same age as it means you can have your newborn in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are made to accommodate both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines and a rear upright seat.
The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat offers a full recline and is suitable from birth, while the front seat can face either way - which means that your child's younger one can look at their older sibling or you can turn them towards the world for greater interaction. You can also include a newborn cocoon for both seats to create a sleeping area for your infants and the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to provide protection.
You could also opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be folded up to reveal an ample shopping basket when not being used.

The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels make it perfect for uneven surfaces.
Some tandem double buggy pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front or back, or under. This is a solution that's cost-effective, durable and flexible if you're planning to have another child in the near-term.
