Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and double pushchairs (visit this hyperlink).
Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in a new window, which allows you to modify them for toddlers and babies by combining seats and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
The children are positioned side-by-side in a side-by-side double stroller. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They are often smaller than a single pushchair, making them easier to get through doorways and are more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver between kerbs.
Some have adjustable seats that allow a child to lie flat and others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic choice from birth, and also works well through toddlerhood, and beyond.
Certain models can even be converted to one buggy that has an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a great option for children that is both practical and fun. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model before purchasing.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin buggy pushchair, and provides two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is great for babies who are the same age as you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit or in a car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the best double buggy twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines flat, and a rear upright seat.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for babies and the front seat can be positioned either way. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can also add an infant cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed lie-flat space for your children. Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to provide protection.
You could also opt for a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be popped up to reveal an ample shopping basket when it is not being used. This makes it easy to manoeuvre a double tandem pushchair pushchair through narrow doorways and is the ideal option for urban adventures. The curvature of the frame and the four-wheel suspension of this buggy makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces as well.
Some tandem pushchairs such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front or back, or under. It's a cost-effective choice that lasts longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the near future.
The egg2 is a prime example of twin pushchairs designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It is very popular with parents due to its attractive design and high-quality fabric. It can be used as a single double stroller unit with infant seats and a carrycot or as a twin with two seat units, or even as a triple-child family rig, with the addition of a piggy back board that attaches to the rear of the chassis.
Convenience
The right twin pushchair can alter your daily routine, whether you're jogging in bustling shopping centers or enjoying a peaceful stroll in the park. From tandem pushchairs that place your children side-by-side, to twin buggies that are compact and designed to fit in tight spaces, there's a variety of options to choose from. The most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair will be capable of enduring the wear and tear of two kids while providing enough space for their belongings.

You'll have a better idea of how it's easy to steer and stop your pushchair and how easily it folds and is stored away when it's not in use.
