Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a variety of innovative twin and double pushchairs.
A few of our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in new window which allow you to make them suitable to toddlers and infants with a combination of seats and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
The children are positioned side-by-side in a side-by-side double stroller. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They are typically smaller and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to move through doors.
Some seats are adjustable, which allow a child to lie flat and others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is a great option from the beginning, and is also a great choice through toddlerhood, 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 an excellent option for kids that is practical and enjoyable. It is essential to ensure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems are arranged one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age as it lets you put your infant 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 take both). A lot of the top twin strollers have an adjustable front seat 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 infants and the front seat can be placed either way. This allows your child to watch their older sibling or look out into the world. Add a newborn cocoon to each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat place for your children. The rear seat has a hood, raincover and a full recline.
Alternatively, you could choose an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily maneuver a double pushchair through narrow doors and is an ideal choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven surfaces.
