Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a variety of innovative twin and double pushchairs.
Our favourites include the egg2 dual use pushchairsOpens a new window that can be adapted for toddlers and newborns by combining carrycots and a seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-byside double buggy can have children placed in a row, side-by-side, and can usually accommodate two fixed seats. They are typically thinner and lighter than a single stroller making it easier to navigate through doorways.
Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lie flat, while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of twin bed is an excellent choice for babies and toddlers.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy with a basket on the side. This is a fantastic option for kids that's both practical and enjoyable. However, it is essential to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model before purchasing.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair and provides two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age as it lets you put your infant in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models can accommodate both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs come with an upholstered 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 has a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way - this means that your child's younger one can look at their sibling or you can open them out to the world for more interaction. You can also include a baby cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your children. Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a raincover and hood for protection.
You can also choose one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to maneuver a double pushchair through narrow doors and is the ideal option 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 in front, behind or beneath. This is a choice that's cost-effective, durable and adaptable if you're planning to have a second child in the near future.
The egg2 is an example of twin pushchairs designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It is very popular with parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used as a single pushchair with a carrycot, or twins with two seat units. Or, it could be used as a family rig that can accommodate three children, with the addition of an 'eggyback' board that is that is attached to the chassis.
Convenience
When you're strolling through bustling shopping centers or taking in tranquil park walks, the right twin pushchair will transform your everyday routine. There are many options, from tandem prams which align your babies in a row, to twin buggies that are compact and designed for small spaces.
