Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other, and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is ideal for children of the same age since you can place your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit, or in the car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the best twin pushchairs have a padded front seat that reclines flat and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can face either way - which means that your child's younger one can look at their older sibling or you can turn them to the world for greater interaction. You can also include an infant cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your infants and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover for protection.

You could also choose a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be popped up to reveal an ample shopping basket when not being used.
