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 pushchair, browse Direct4Baby's range of double buggy that converts to single and twin pushchairs.

Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens a new window that can be adapted to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycot and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

A double side-by-side buggy has children placed side by side and usually has 2 fixed seats. They tend to be thinner and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to move through doors.

Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that a child can lie flat, while others are designed to fit carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic option from the beginning, and also works well through the toddler years and beyond.

Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy with a basket next to it. This is an excellent option for kids that's both practical and enjoyable. However, it is important to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model before purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is great for babies of the same age as you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though not all models allow both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines flat, and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for infants, while the front seat can be positioned in any direction. This allows your child to watch their older sibling or look out into the world. Add a newborn baby cocoon to each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat place for your children. The rear seat comes with a hood, raincover and an entire recline.

You could also choose one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be popped up to reveal a huge shopping basket when it is not in use. This makes it easy to manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doors and is an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels make it perfect for uneven surfaces.

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

The egg2 is an example of twin pushchairs that can be used in various configurations. It has become very popular with parents due to its stylish design and high-quality fabric. It can be used either as a single pushchair, with a carrycot, or as twins with two seats. Or, it can even be used as a family rig that can accommodate three children with the addition an 'eggyback' board that is connected to the chassis.
