Buying a Twin Pushchair

Whether you want to keep an eye on both of your children in a tandem with a parent or simply take advantage of the convenience of a double-pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of double and twin pushchairs.

Our favourites include the egg2 dual use pushchairsOpens an entirely new window that can be modified for toddlers and newborns with a combination carrycots and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

A double side-by-side buggy has the children positioned in a row, side-by-side and usually has two fixed seats. They tend to be thinner and lighter than a single stroller double, making it easier to maneuver through doors.

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

Some models can even be converted to an all-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for children that is both practical and fun. However, it is important to check that any extra accessories are compatible with your model before you buy.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is great for babies of the same age, because you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit, or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the top twin pushchairs come with an upholstered front seat that reclines flat, and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a 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 towards the world to have more interaction. You can add an infant cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed lay-flat area for your children. Additionally, 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 that can be popped up to reveal an ample shopping basket when it is not being used. This allows you to easily move a double pushchair around narrow doorways. It's a great option for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start life as single buggies to which a second seat could be added either in the front, behind or under. It's a cost-effective choice that will last longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting another child in the near future.

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

Convenience

If you're walking through bustling shopping centres or enjoying peaceful walks in the park, the right twin pushchair will transform your routine. There are a variety of choices from tandem pushchairs that align your babies side by side to twin buggies that are compact and designed for small spaces. However, the most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair can endure the wear and tear of two children and still provide plenty of space for their belongings too.

It's a good idea to try out a variety of models before purchasing a twin pushchair. This will give you a feel for how easy it is to steer and stop the pushchair as well as how it folds and puts up when not in use. Be sure to check the weight to make sure it's not too heavy for you to lift and store in your car.

There are plenty of accessories for twin pushchairs, including foot muffs, rain covers and drink holders. Many top brands provide a variety of these optional extras for their twin pushchairs, so make sure you take the time to review the range and see what is the best fit for your family. It's also worth noting that some twin pushchairs might include a range of these accessories as standard, so make sure to double-check before buying.

Twin pushchairs can be quite heavy, so it's crucial to choose the one that's capable of fitting through doors and other narrow spaces. If you're not sure, you can always ask an employee at your retailer to take measurements of the door frames of a few. This will give you an idea of the amount of space you need for twin pushchairs.

This popular twin pushchair comes with a number of useful accessories included, including reversible seat liners as well as foot muffs, rain covers. It's a great option for parents looking for a twin pram that can be used from birth and is able to accommodate their children up to the age of 4 years old.
