Buying a Twin Pushchair

Whether you want to monitor both of your children in a parent-facing tandem or simply enjoy the convenience of a double pushchair, browse Direct4Baby's range of twin and double buggy with car seat pushchairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The children are positioned side-by-side in a side-by-side double stroller. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They are often smaller than single pushchairs, making them easier to pass through doors, and more evenly weighted, making them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

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

Some models can be converted to a single buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for kids that's practical and enjoyable. It is crucial to check that any extra accessories are compatible with your model before you buy.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair and offers two spaces for children. This arrangement is especially suitable for babies of similar ages as it means you can put your infant in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are made to accommodate both). A lot of the top twin strollers have a front seat that reclines and a rear seat that is upright.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies and the front seat can be positioned in any way. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling or face the world. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat place for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a hood, raincover and an entire recline.

You can also opt for a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that opens up to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a double pushchair through narrow doors. It's an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single to double pushchair buggies, after where a second seat can be added in front, behind or beneath. This is a cost-effective option that lasts longer and offer you a lot of flexibility in the event that you're expecting another child in the future.
