Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a range of nifty twin and double buggy for twins pushchairs.

Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open in a new window, which allows you to modify them for toddlers and babies with the help of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side double buggy side by side buggy has children placed in a row, side-by-side and will usually have 2 fixed seats. They are usually narrower than a single pushchair, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways, and more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

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

Certain models can even be converted to one buggy that has a huge shopping basket alongside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel option that is not just practical but also fun for kids. However, it is important to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before you buy.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems are arranged one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is great for children of the same age, since you can place 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). Many of the best twin pushchairs come with a padded front seat that reclines and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can be positioned either way - which means that your child can look at their older sibling or you can open them out to the world for greater interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat space for your children. The rear seat has a hood, raincover and an entire recline.

If you prefer, you can opt for a model such as 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 move a lightweight double stroller pushchair around narrow doorways. It's an excellent option for urban excursions. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front, back or underneath. This is a choice that's cost-effective, durable and flexible if you plan to have a second child in the near-term.

The egg2 is an example of twin pushchairs that can be used in various configurations. It has been very popular with parents due to its stylish design and high-quality fabric. It can be used as a one-person pushchair with infant seats and a carrycot or as a double buggy with two seat units or even as a three-child family rig, with the addition of a 'piggyback' board that is attached to the back of the chassis.

From tandem prams that align your babies side-by-side, to compact twin buggies engineered for small space, there's a wide range of options.
