Indisputable Proof That You Need Pushchair Twin

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 a new window that allows you to make them suitable for toddlers and babies with the help of seats and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-byside in a lightest double stroller stroller with a side-byside design. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They tend to be smaller than single double stroller pushchairs, making them easier to get through doorways and are also more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver between kerbs.

Some have seats that are adjustable and allow one child to lie flat and others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic option right from the beginning and is also a great choice through toddlerhood, and beyond.

Some models can be converted to one buggy that has a huge shopping basket alongside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel option that is not only practical, but also fun for children. However, it is essential to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is great for children of the same age, as you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a car seat or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the best double buggy twin pushchairs come with an upholstered front seat that reclines flat and an upright seat in the rear.

The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies, while the front seat can be set either way. This lets your child to gaze at their older sibling or face the world. You can also include an infant cocoon to both seats to create a lay-flat area for your little ones and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover for protection.

You could also opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be popped up to reveal an ample shopping basket when it is not in use. This makes it easy to maneuver a double pushchair through narrow doorways and is an ideal choice for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for handling uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem double buggy pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies, after which a second seat could be added in front, behind or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that will last longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the near future.
