Buying a twin stroller Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and double pushchairs.

Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in new window which allow you to adapt them for toddlers and babies with a combination of seat units and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

A side-byside double buggy can have the children positioned on opposite sides and will usually have two fixed seats. They tend to be narrower than single pushchairs, making them easier to get through doorways, and more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Some have adjustable seats that allow one child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This kind of twin is a great option right from the beginning and is also a great choice through toddlerhood, and beyond.

Some models can be converted into one buggy that has a large shopping basket beside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a great option for kids that is practical and enjoyable. However, it is important to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model before purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are placed one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar age because it allows you to put your infant in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models are made to take both). Many of the best twin strollers have the front seat that reclines and a rear seat that is upright.

The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for babies and the front seat can be positioned in any direction. This lets your child to gaze at their older sibling or face the world. Include a newborn cocoon on each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat space for your children. The rear seat comes with a raincover, hood and the recline is complete.

If you prefer, you can select an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that opens up to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to move a double travel stroller pushchair around narrow doorways and is an excellent choice for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels makes it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front, back or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that lasts longer and give you the most flexibility if you're expecting another child in the future.

The egg2 is a classic model of this type of twin pushchair, which has been made to work with a variety of configurations and ing.

Twin pushchairs can become quite weighty, so it's vital to select one that is suitable for use in doorways and other tight spaces. If you're not sure you're not sure, ask a member of staff at the retailer you've chosen to determine the width of a couple of door frames to give you an idea of how much space you'll need for a twin pushchair.

The popular twin pushchair comes with a variety of useful accessories included, including reversible seat liners as well as foot muffs, rain covers. It's an excellent choice for parents who are looking for a twin pram that can be used from birth and be capable of accommodating their children up to the age of 4 years old. It can be used either in dual or mono mode and the frame can expand to accommodate a seat/carrycot.
