Buying a Twin Pushchair

If you're looking to monitor both of your children in a tandem with a parent or simply enjoy the convenience of a cheap double buggy-pushchair, browse Direct4Baby's range of twin and double stroller pushchairs.

Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens an entirely new window that can be modified for toddlers and newborns with a combination carrycot and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

A double buggy from birth side-by-side buggy has children placed side by side and will usually have two seats fixed. They are usually smaller and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to move through doors.

Some have adjustable seats that allow a child to lie flat, while others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin bed is a great option for toddlers and babies.

Some models can be converted to a single double buggy that converts to single with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is an excellent option for children that is both practical and fun. However, it is important to make sure that any additional 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 ideal for children who are the same age as you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs come with a padded front seat that reclines flat, and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be set either way, which means your younger child can look at their sibling or you can turn them to the world to have more interaction. You can add a newborn cocoon for both seats to create an enclosed lay-flat area for your infants and the rear seat is equipped with a raincover and hood for protection.

You can also pick a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be opened to reveal an ample shopping basket when it is not being used. This lets you easily move a Double Stroller With 5-Point Harness pushchair around narrow doorways. It's an excellent option for urban excursions. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels makes it ideal for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front or back, or under. This is an option that's affordable, durable, and adaptable if you're planning to have a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is a prime example of twin pushchairs designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It is loved by parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used as a one-person pushchair with a carrycot and infant seat or as a twin with two seat units or even as a triple-child family rig, with the addition of a piggy back board that attaches to the back of the chassis.

Convenience

From tandem strollers that align your children side-by-side, to compact twin buggies engineered to fit in tight spaces, there are a range of options available. The most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair will be capable of enduring the wear and tear of two children, while still providing enough space for their belongings.

When shopping for a pushchair twin, it's recommended to test drive a few models.
