Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and double Stroller for twins pushchairs.

Our top picks 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

A double side-by-side buggy has the children positioned in a row, side-by-side, and can usually accommodate two seats fixed. They are often smaller than single pushchairs, making them easier to pass through doors and are also more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre between kerbs.

Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lie flat and others are designed to fit carrycots. This kind of twin is a fantastic choice from birth, and can be used throughout toddlerhood, and beyond.

Some models can be converted to an all terrain double stroller-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel alternative that is not only practical but also fun for children. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you have.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair, and provides two places for children. This arrangement is great for children of the same age, since you can place your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit, or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all models allow both). Many of the top twin strollers come with an adjustable front seat and the rear seat which is upright.

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, whereas the front seat can face either way - which means that your child can look at their older sibling or you can turn them towards the world for more interaction. Add a newborn baby cocoon to each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat place for your children. The rear seat is equipped with an hood, raincover and a full recline.

The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can then be added to the front or back, or under. This is a choice that's cost-effective, durable and flexible if you plan to have a second child in the near-term.
