Buying a Twin Pushchair

Whether you want to monitor both of your munchkins in a tandem that is oriented towards parents or simply enjoy the convenience of a double pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of twin and double pushchairs.

A few of our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in a new window, which allows you to make them suitable to toddlers and infants with a combination of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-by-side in a double stroller with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They tend to be smaller and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to maneuver through doorways.

Some have adjustable seats that permit a child to lay flat and others can accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a good choice for babies and toddlers.

Some models can even be converted to one buggy that has a large shopping basket beside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a great option for children that is both practical and enjoyable. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you own.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair and offers two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is great for children of the same age, as you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit, or in a car seat or baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the top twin pushchairs have a padded front seat that reclines flat, and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants, while the front seat can be positioned in any direction. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling or look out into the world. You can add an infant cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed lay-flat area for your little ones and the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover for protection.

You could also opt for one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be opened to reveal a large shopping basket when it is not in use. This lets you easily manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doors, making it an ideal choice for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension of this buggy makes it ideal for handling uneven surfaces as well.

Some tandem pushchairs such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front, back or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that will last longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the future.

The egg2 is an iconic example of this kind of twin pushchair that's made to work with a variety of configurations. It's a hit with parents for its sleek design and premium fabrics. It can be used as a single unit with an infant seat and carrycot or as a double with two seat units, or even as a triple-child family rig with the addition of a 'piggy back' board that is attached to the back of the chassis.

Convenience

If you're walking through bustling shopping centers or taking in peaceful walks in the park, the right twin pushchair will transform your everyday routine. From tandem pushchairs that place your children side-by-side, to compact double stroller twin buggies designed for tight spaces, there are a range of options available. However, the most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to withstand the wear and tear of two kids and still provide ample space for their belongings too.

When you are looking for a pushchair twin, it's a good idea to try out several models. You'll have a better idea of how easy it is for you to control and stop your pushchair as well as how easily it folds up and stores away when not in use. Make sure it is not too heavy for you to carry around and put in your car.

There are a variety of accessories for twin pushchairs, such as foot muffs, rain covers and drinks holders. These optional extras are available from numerous top brands for twin strollers for newborns pushchairs. Make sure to look through the options and choose the best double strollers for your family.

It's crucial to choose a twin pushchair that can fit through narrow doorways and other spaces. If you're unsure, it's always worth asking a member of staff at the retailer you've chosen to measure the width of a few door frames to give you an idea of the space you'll require for the twin pushchair.

It's an excellent choice for parents seeking an adaptable twin pushchair that can be used from birth and will be able to accommodate their children as young as the age of 4 years old.
