Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of nifty twin and double pushchairs.
Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens a new window that can be adapted for toddlers and newborns by combining carrycots and a seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-by-side double buggy has the children positioned on opposite sides, and can usually accommodate two seats fixed. They are usually thinner and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to move through doorways.
Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that one child can lay flat while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is a great option from the beginning, and is also a great choice through toddlerhood and beyond.
Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller that has a large basket attached to it. This is an innovative option that is not only practical but also fun for children. However, it is essential to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model before purchasing.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is placed 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 baby in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit, or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models allow both). Many of the best twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines and an upright rear seat.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants while the front seat can be set in any way. This allows your child to watch their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can also include a baby cocoon to both seats to create a sleeping area for your little ones and the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to provide protection.
If you prefer, you can opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to move a double pushchair around narrow doorways and is the ideal option for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front or back, or underneath. This is an option that's cost-effective, durable and flexible if you plan to have another child in the near future.
The egg2 is an example twin pushchairs designed to be used in many different configurations. It is popular with parents because of its stylish design and high-quality fabric.
