Buying a Twin Pushchair
If you're looking to watch both of your munchkins in a parent-facing tandem or simply take advantage of the convenience of a double pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of twin and double pushchairs.
Our favourites include the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens a new window that can be adjusted for toddlers and newborns by combining carrycots and a seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-byside double buggy can have the children positioned on opposite sides and usually has two fixed seats. They tend to be smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to get through doorways and are more evenly weighted, making them easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down.
Some seats are adjustable, which allow one child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic option from the beginning, and can be used throughout toddlerhood, and beyond.
Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy with a basket next to it. This is an innovative option that is not only practical but also enjoyable for kids. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before purchasing.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair, and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is great for babies of the same age as you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models allow both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines flat and an upright rear seat.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants and the front seat can be placed in any way. This allows your child to look at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can add a baby cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your infants and the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood to protect.
You can also choose an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that opens up to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily move a double pushchair through narrow doorways. It is a great option for urban excursions.
