Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a variety of innovative twin and double pushchairs.
Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open a new window that can be modified for toddlers and newborns with a combination carrycots and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-byside in a double stroller with a side-byside design. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They are typically smaller and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to maneuver through doors.
Some seats are adjustable, which allow one child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a great option for toddlers and babies.
Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller that has a large basket attached to it. This is a fantastic option for kids that is practical and enjoyable. It is crucial to ensure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you own.
double push chair sits behind the twin pushchair and offers two spaces for children. This arrangement is great for babies who are the same age because you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit, or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the best twin pushchairs have a padded front seat that reclines flat, and a rear upright seat.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for infants, while the front seat can be set in any direction. This allows your child to watch their older sibling, or even look out at the world. Add a newborn cocoon to each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat comes with an hood, raincover and a full recline.
You can also opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that can be raised to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to move a double pushchair through narrow doors. It is a great option for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels makes it ideal for uneven surfaces.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start life as single buggies to which a second seat can be added in front, behind or beneath. This is a solution that's cost-effective, durable and flexible if you're planning to have a second child in the near-term.
The egg2 is an example of a twin pushchair designed to be used in various configurations. It has been very popular with parents due to its stylish design and high-quality fabric. It can be used either as a single pushchair with carrycot, or as twins with two seat units. Also, it can be used as a family-friendly rig for three children with the addition an 'eggyback' board that is that is attached to the chassis.
Convenience
A twin pushchair that is the right one can transform your daily routine, whether you're walking in busy shopping centres or enjoying a peaceful stroll in the park. There are a variety of choices including tandem prams that align your babies in a row, to compact twin buggies designed for tight spaces. However, the most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair can withstand the wear and tear of two kids and still provide plenty of space for their belongings as well.
It's a great idea to test drive a variety of models before you buy a twin pushchair. You'll get an idea of how it's easy to steer and stop your pushchair, as well as how easily it folds up and stores away when not in use. Make sure it's not too heavy for you to carry and store in your car.

It's worth noting that certain twin pushchairs might come with a selection of these accessories as standard, so be sure to confirm this before purchasing.
It's important to select a twin pushchair that will fit through narrow doorways and other spaces.
