Direct4Baby provides a range of innovative twin and double Single pushchair pushchairs.
Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in a new window, which allows you to make them suitable to toddlers and infants by combining seat units and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-by-side in a lightweight double stroller stroller with a side-byside design. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They tend to be smaller than a single double stroller pushchair, making them easier to get through doorways and are also more evenly weighed, making them easy to manoeuvre between kerbs.
Some seats can be adjusted so that a child can lie flat while others are designed to fit carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent option from the beginning, and can be used throughout toddlerhood, and beyond.
Some models can even be converted into an all-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for kids that's both practical and fun. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for children who are the same age since you can place your newborn 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). A lot of the top twin pushchairs come with a cushioned front seat that reclines flat and an upright seat in the rear.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can face either way - this means that your child can gaze at their sibling or you can face them to the world to have more interaction. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat space for your children. The rear seat comes with a raincover, hood and an entire recline.
