Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a variety of nifty twin and double pushchairs.
Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open in a new window that allows you to adapt them for newborns and toddlers alike with the help of seat units and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-byside in a double travel buggy stroller with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They tend to be smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to pass through doors and are also more evenly weighed, making them easy to manoeuvre between kerbs.
Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that one child can lay flat and others are designed to fit carrycots. This type of twin bed is a good option for toddlers and babies.
Certain models can even be converted to an all-in-one buggy with a huge shopping basket alongside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is an excellent option for kids that's practical and enjoyable. However, it is important to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before you buy.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair double stroller with infant car seat (timeoftheworld.date) is placed behind the twin pushchair and provides two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is ideal for children of the same age since you can place your baby in a carrycot while your toddler is in a car seat or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the best twin pushchairs come with a padded front seat that reclines 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, while the front seat can be placed either way. This lets your child to look at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat place for your children. The rear seat has a hood, raincover and an entire recline.
You can also pick a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be folded up to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to move a double infant strollers pushchair around narrow doors and is an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels makes it perfect for uneven surfaces.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after where a second seat can be added either in the front, behind or under. This is a cost-effective option that will last longer and give you the most flexibility if you're expecting another child in the near future.
The egg2 is a prime example of a twin pushchair designed to be used in various configurations. It has been very popular with parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used as a single with a carrycot and infant seat, 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 attaches to the rear of the chassis.
Convenience

There are numerous choices from tandem pushchairs that align your kids in a row, to compact twin buggies made for tight spaces.
