Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a variety of nifty twin and double pushchairs.
Our favourites include the egg2 dual use pushchairsOpens a new window that can be modified to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycot and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-byside double buggy can have the children positioned side by side and usually has two seats fixed. They tend to be narrower and lighter than a single stroller making it easier to maneuver through doorways.
Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that one child can lie flat, while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a great option for toddlers and babies.
Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller that has a large basket next to it. This is a great option for children that is practical and enjoyable. However, it is essential to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model before you buy.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is ideal for children who are the same age because you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the best twin strollers have a front seat that reclines and a rear seat that is upright.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can be positioned either way, which means that your child's younger one can look at their sibling or you can turn them to the world for greater interaction. You can also include a newborn cocoon for both seats to create an enclosed lie-flat space for your little ones and the rear seat is equipped with a raincover and hood for protection.
Alternatively, you could opt for one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that can be raised to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doorways and is the ideal option for urban adventures. The bent frame and four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for handling uneven surfaces as well.
Some tandem pushchairs such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can then be added to the front or back, or under. This is an option that's affordable, durable, and flexible if you're planning to have a second child in the near-term.
