What Will Pushchair Twin Be Like In 100 Years
Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of nifty twin and double pushchair from birth pushchairs.
Our favourites include the egg2 dual use pushchairsOpens an entirely new window that can be modified for both newborns and toddlers with a combination carrycots and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-byside in a smallest double buggy stroller double with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They tend to be narrower than a single pushchair, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.
Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lay flat while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is a great option from the beginning, and can be used throughout toddlerhood, and beyond.
Certain models can even be converted into one buggy that has an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a great option for children that is both practical and fun. However, it is essential to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before purchasing.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are placed one behind the other, and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of the same age, since you can place your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a car seat or in the car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the best twin pushchairs have a padded 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 face either way - this means your younger child can look at their older sibling or you can face them to the world for more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat place for your children. The rear seat has an hood, raincover and an entire recline.
You could also opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be popped up to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to move a double pushchair around narrow doors and is an ideal choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.
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 underneath. This is a cost-effective option 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 is popular with parents because of its stylish design and high-quality fabric. It can be used either as a single pushchair that comes with a carrycot, or twins with two seats. Or, it can be used as a family-friendly rig for three kids, using a 'piggyback' board attached to the chassis.
Convenience
The right lightweight twin stroller pushchair will change your routine, whether you're jogging in busy shopping centres or taking tranquil park walks. From tandem prams that align your babies side-by-side, to compact twin pushchair from birth buggies engineered for small spaces, there are a range of options available. However, the most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to withstand the wear and tear of two children, whilst offering ample space for their belongings too.
It's a great idea test-drive a few different models before buying a twin pushchair. You'll get an idea of how it's easy to steer and stop your pushchair, as well as the ease with which it folds and can be stored away when not in use. Be sure to check the weight to make sure it is not too heavy to lift and store in your car.
There are plenty of accessories available for twin pushchairs, including rain covers, foot muffs and drink holders. A lot of top brands offer a range of these accessories for their twin pushchairs, so make sure you take the time to browse through the options and decide which will work best for your family. It's worth noting that certain twin pushchairs include a range of these items as standard, so make sure to confirm this before purchasing.
Twin pushchairs can be quite bulky, so it's important to select a model that will be suitable for use in doorways and other spaces that are tight. If you're unsure it is possible to ask someone on staff at your local store to measure a few door frames. This will give you a clear idea of the space you need for twin pushchairs.
This popular twin pushchair includes numerous useful accessories included. This includes removable seat covers as well as foot muffs and rain covers. It's a great option for parents seeking an adaptable twin pushchair that can be used from birth and will be capable of accommodating their children as young as the age of four. It can be used in mono or dual mode, and comes with an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat/carrycot.
