Buying a Twin Pushchair
Whether you want to watch both of your children in a parent-facing tandem or simply take advantage of the convenience of a double pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of twin and double pushchairs.
Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in a new window that allows you to make them suitable to toddlers and infants by combining carrycots and seat units.
Side-by-Side
A double side-by-side buggy has the children positioned side by side and usually has two seats fixed. They are often narrower than a single pushchair, making them easier to pass through doors, and more evenly weighed, making them easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down.
Some have adjustable seats that permit a child to lay flat, while others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent choice from birth, and also works well through the toddler years and beyond.
Some models can even be converted into an all-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a unique alternative that is not only practical but also fun for children. It is essential to ensure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair and offers two spaces for children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar ages because it allows you to have your newborn in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models are designed to accommodate both). Many of the best twin strollers have a front seat that reclines and a rear seat that is upright.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for babies while the front seat can be placed either way. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling or face the world. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat has a raincover, hood and a full recline.
If you prefer, you can opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that pops up to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily manoeuvre 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 make it perfect for uneven surfaces.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front, back or underneath. This is an option that's cost-effective, durable and flexible if you plan to have a second child in the near-term.
