Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a variety of nifty twin and double pushchairs.
Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in new window which allow you to adapt them for toddlers and babies with a combination of carrycots and seat units.
Side-by-Side
The children are positioned side-by-side in a side-by-side double prams for toddlers stroller. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They tend to be thinner and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to move through doors.
Some have seats that are adjustable and permit a child to lay flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin bed is a good choice for babies and toddlers.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller with a basket attached to it. This is a great option for kids that's practical and enjoyable. It is essential to ensure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar age as it lets you have your newborn in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models are designed to accommodate both). A lot of the top twin strollers come with a front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be positioned either way - which means that your child's younger one can gaze at their sibling or you can turn them to the world for more interaction. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a hood, raincover and an entire recline.
Alternatively, you could select a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that pops up to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to maneuver a small double buggy pushchair into narrow doorways. It is a great choice for urban adventures. The bent frame and four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for handling uneven surfaces too.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start life as single buggies to which a second hand double buggy seat could be added either in the front, behind or under. This is a cost-effective option that lasts longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the future.
The egg2 is a prime example of a twin pushchair designed to be used in various configurations. It has been loved by parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used either as a single pushchair, with a carrycot, or as twins with two seats. It could be used as a family rig that can accommodate three children, with the addition of an 'eggyback' board that is connected to the chassis.

There are a variety of options from tandem pushchairs that align your kids in a row, to compact twin buggies made to fit in tight spaces.
