Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a variety of innovative twin and double travel stroller pushchairs.

Our favourites include the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open an entirely new window that can be adjusted to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycot and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-by-side in a side-by-side smallest double buggy stroller. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They are typically thinner and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to maneuver through doors.

Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lay flat and others are designed to fit carrycots. This kind of twin is an excellent choice from birth, and can be used throughout toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy with a basket next to it. This is a unique option that is not just practical but also enjoyable for kids. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model before purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are set one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is great for children of the same age, because you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a car seat or in a car seat or baby carrier (though not all models allow both). Many of the top twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines flat and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat offers a full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be set either way, which means your younger child can look at their older sibling or you can face them out to the world for more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat place for your children. The rear seat has an hood, raincover and an entire recline.

You can also pick one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be folded up to reveal an ample shopping basket when not being used. This lets you easily manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doors, making it an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat could be added in front, behind or beneath. This is an option that's affordable, durable, and flexible if you plan to have a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is a classic example of this kind of twin pushchair, which has been designed for a range of configurations and has been popular with parents due to its sleek design and premium fabrics. It can be used either as a single pushchair, with a carrycot, or twins with two seats. Or, it could be used as a family-friendly rig for three children with the addition a 'piggyback' board connected to the chassis.

twin buggy from birth pushchair comes with many useful accessories that are included. They include removable seat covers as well as foot muffs and rain covers. It's an excellent choice for parents looking for an adaptable twin pushchair that can be used from birth and will be able to accommodate their children as young as the age of 4 years old. It can be used in mono or dual mode and has a clever frame that expands to accommodate a second seat/carrycot.
