Buying a Twin Pushchair

If you're looking to monitor the two of your kids in a parent-facing tandem or simply enjoy the convenience of a double buggy from birth-pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of double and twin pushchairs.

Our favourites include the egg2 dual use pushchairsOpens a new window that can be adapted for both newborns and toddlers with a combination carrycot and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-by-side in a double stroller with a side-byside design. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They are often narrower than a single pushchair, so it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down.

Some have adjustable seats that permit a child to lay flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This kind of twin bed is an excellent choice for babies and toddlers.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller with a basket on the side. This is a novel option that is not only practical but also fun for children. It is important to make sure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you already have.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar age because it allows you to have your newborn in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models can take both). Many of the top twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines and an upright seat in the rear.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way - this means your younger child can gaze at their sibling or you can open them out to the world for greater interaction. You can add an infant 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.

You can also select a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily maneuver a double pushchair through narrow doors, making it an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels makes it perfect for uneven surfaces.

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