Buying a Twin Pushchair

Whether you want to watch both of your children in a tandem with a parent or simply take advantage of the convenience of a double stroller with bassinet pushchair, browse Direct4Baby's range of twin and double buggy with car seat pushchairs.

Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in a new window that allows you to adapt them to toddlers and infants with a combination of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-by-side in a double stroller that is side-by-side. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They are often smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to pass through doors, and more evenly weighted, making them easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down.

Some have adjustable seats that allow one child to lie flat, while others can accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is an excellent option from the beginning, and can be used throughout toddlerhood and beyond.

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 kids that is practical and enjoyable. It is crucial to make sure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar age as it means you can put your infant in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are designed to take both). Many of the top twin pushchairs come with a padded front seat that reclines flat and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for babies while the front seat can be placed in any direction. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. Add a newborn cocoon to each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a raincover, hood and an entire recline.

You can also opt for one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that pops up to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily manoeuvre a thule double stroller pushchair through narrow doors and is the ideal option for urban adventures. The curvature of the frame and the four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for handling uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem pushchairs, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat can be added either in front, behind or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that will last longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the future.

The egg2 is a classic example of this kind of twin pushchair that's been designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It's been loved by parents due to itsre tight. If you're not sure, it's always worth asking the staff at your chosen retailer to take measurements of the width of few door frames in order to give you an idea of the space you'll need for the twin pushchair.

This popular twin pushchair comes with a range of useful accessories that are included including reversible seat liner, foot muffs and rain covers. It's a great choice for parents seeking an adaptable Twin pushchair (http://Jicc.kr) that can be used from birth and be capable of accommodating their children as young as the age of four years. It can be used in mono or dual mode and has an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat/carrycot.
