Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and double pushchairs.
Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in new window which allow you to adapt them for newborns and toddlers alike by combining seats and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
A side-by-side double to single buggy buggy has children placed side by side and usually has two fixed seats. They are often narrower than single pushchairs, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver between kerbs.
Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lie flat and others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of twin bed is a good option for toddlers and babies.
Certain models can even be converted into an all-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for kids that is both practical and fun. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you already have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair sits behind the lightweight twin stroller pushchair and provides two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is great for children of the same age as you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a car seat or in the car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the top twin pushchairs come with a padded front seat that reclines flat, 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 for children from birth, while the front seat can be positioned either way, which means that your child can gaze at their sibling or you can open them towards the world for greater interaction. Include a newborn cocoon on both seats to create a lying-flat area for your children. The rear seat comes with a hood, raincover and the recline is complete.
If you prefer, you can opt for one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that opens up to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a double pushchair twin around narrow doors and is the ideal option for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces as well.
