Why We Why We Pushchair Twin (And You Should Also!)

Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby provides a range of nifty twin and double pushchairs.

A few of our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open in a new window, which allows you to make them suitable for newborns and toddlers alike by combining seat units and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

A double pushchair from birth side-by-side buggy has the children positioned side by side, and can usually accommodate two fixed seats. They tend to be narrower and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to maneuver through doorways.

Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lie flat, while others are designed to fit carrycots. This type of twin bed is a good option for toddlers and babies.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy that has a large basket on the side. This is an innovative option that is not only practical but also fun for children. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you already have.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair and offers two spaces for children. This arrangement is particularly good for babies of similar age as it means you can have your newborn in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are designed to accommodate both). Many of the top twin strollers come with a front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for infants and the front seat can be placed either way. This allows your child to look at their older sibling or look out into the world. You can also add a newborn cocoon for both seats to create a sleeping area for your infants and the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to protect.

You could also opt for a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be opened to reveal a huge shopping basket when not being used. This lets you easily move a amazon double stroller pushchair around narrow doors, making it the ideal option for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies, after which a second seat can be added in the front, behind or under. It's a cost-effective choice that will last longer and offer you a lot of flexibility in the event that you're expecting another child in the future.

The egg2 is an example of a twin pushchair designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It is loved by parents due to its attractive design and high-quality fabric. It can be used as a single unit with a carrycot and infant seat, or as a twin with two seat units or even as a three-child family rig, with the addition of a 'piggy back' board that attaches to the rear of the chassis.

Convenience

The right twin pushchair can alter your daily routine, whether you're walking through busy shopping malls or enjoying a peaceful stroll in the park. From tandem strollers that align your children side-by-side, to compact twin buggies engineered for tight space, there's a wide range of options to choose from. But the most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair can stand up to the wear and tear of two kids and still provide plenty of space for their possessions too.

It's a great idea to try out a variety of models before you buy a twin pushchair. You'll have a better idea of how it's easy to control and stop your pushchair, as well as the ease with which it folds and is stored away when it's not in use.
