15 Reasons You Shouldn t Ignore Pushchair Twin

Buying a Twin Pushchair

If you're looking to watch both of your children in a tandem that is oriented towards parents or simply appreciate the convenience of a double infant stroller pushchair browse Direct4Baby's range of twin and double buggy with car seat 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 by combining seat units and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

A side-byside double buggy can have children placed on opposite sides and will usually have two fixed seats. They are usually narrower than a single pushchair, making them easier to pass through doors, and more evenly weighed, making them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.

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

Some models can be converted into one buggy that has a huge shopping basket alongside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a unique alternative that is not only practical but also fun for children. However, it is essential to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model before you buy.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair and offers two places for children. This arrangement is great for babies of the same age, as you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a car seat or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines and an upright seat in the rear.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this kind 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 can gaze at their sibling or you can open them towards the world to have more interaction. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat area for your children. The rear seat comes with a raincover, hood and an entire recline.

Alternatively, you could choose one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that pops up to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doors, making it an excellent choice for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.

Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat could be added either in front, behind or underneath. This is a solution that's affordable, durable, and flexible if you plan to have a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is a classic model of this kind of twin pushchair that's been designed to be used in a variety of configurations and has been a hit with parents for its sleek design and high-end fabrics. It can be used as a single unit with a carrycot and infant seat, or as a twin with two seat units, or even a three-child family rig with the addition of a 'piggy back' board that connects to the back of the chassis.

Convenience

If you're walking through bustling shopping malls or taking a stroll through peaceful walks in the park, the right twin pushchair will change your daily routine. There are many options including tandem prams that align your children side by side to compact double buggy twin buggies made to fit in tight spaces. The most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair is capable of enduring the wear and tear of two children and still provide enough space for their belongings.
