Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a variety of nifty twin and double Stroller with Bassinet pushchairs.
Our favourites include the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open an entirely new window that can be modified to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycot and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
The children are positioned side-by-side in a double buggy that converts to single stroller that is side-by-side. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They are usually smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to get through doorways, and more evenly weighted, making them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.
Some have adjustable seats that permit a child to lay flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This kind of twin is a great option from the beginning, and is also a great choice through the toddler years and beyond.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller with a basket on the side. This is a fantastic option for kids that's both practical and enjoyable. It is crucial to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model prior to purchasing.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair and offers two spaces for children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar ages because it allows you to have your newborn in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models are designed to take both). Many of the best double strollers twin pushchairs come with an upholstered front seat that reclines flat and an upright seat in the rear.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin stroller side by side pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants, while the front seat can be positioned either way. This allows your child to look at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. Include a newborn cocoon on both seats for a lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat comes with an hood, raincover and a full recline.
Alternatively, you could select a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that pops up to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a strollers double pushchair through narrow doorways. It's an excellent option for urban adventures. The curvature of the frame and the four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces as well.
Some tandem pushchairs, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies, after which a second seat could be added either in front, behind or beneath. This is a cost-effective option that lasts longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting another child in the future.
