15 Reasons Not To Ignore Pushchair Twin

Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a variety of nifty twin and double push chair pushchairs.

Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens a new window that can be adjusted for both newborns and toddlers with a combination carrycots and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

The children are positioned side-by-side in a double stroller that is side-by-side. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They are usually narrower than a single pushchair, so easier to pass through doors, and more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre between kerbs.

Some seats are adjustable, which permit a child to lay flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a great option for toddlers and babies.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy with a basket attached to it. This is a great option for children that is both practical and enjoyable. 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 arranged one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is great for babies who are the same age because you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit, or in the car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the top twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines and an upright seat in the rear.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be positioned either way, which means that your child can gaze at their sibling or you can face them out to the world for more interaction. You can also add a baby cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your little ones and the rear seat is equipped with a raincover and hood to protect.

Alternatively, you could choose a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily move a double buggy pushchair around narrow doorways. It's an excellent option for urban excursions. The curvature of the frame and the four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces as well.

Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second hand double buggy seat could be added in front, behind or underneath. This is a choice that's affordable, durable, and flexible if you're planning to have another child in the near future.

The egg2 is a classic model of this kind of twin pushchair that's made to work with a variety of configurations. It's been loved by parents due to its sleek design and high-end fabrics. It can be used as a single pushchair that comes with a carrycot, or as twins with two seats. Or, it can even be used as a family rig that can accommodate three kids, using a 'piggyback' board connected to the chassis.

Convenience

If you're walking through bustling shopping centres or enjoying tranquil park walks, the right twin pushchair can change your daily routine. There are numerous options from tandem pushchairs that align your babies in a row, to twin buggies that are compact and designed to fit in tight spaces. However, the most important consideration is whether the twin pushchair will endure the wear and tear of two kids and still provide plenty of space for their possessions too.

It's a good idea to test drive a variety of models before you buy a twin pushchair. You'll get a better idea of how it's easy to steer and stop your pushchair and the ease with which it folds and is stored away when it's not in use. Be sure to check the weight to make sure it is not too heavy for you to carry around and put in your car.

There are a variety of accessories available for twin pushchairs, such as rain covers, foot muffs and drinks holders. Many of the top brands provide a variety of these extras that are available for their twin pushchairs, therefore, make sure to take the time to look at the various options and figure out which is the best fit for your family. It's also worth noting that some twin pushchairs might include a range of these items as standard, so be sure to double strollers-check before buying.

Twin pushchairs can be quite bulky, so it's important to choose the one that's able to fit through doors and other narrow spaces. If you're unsure about this, you can always ask an employee at the store you're shopping with to measure the width of a few door frames to give you an idea of the space you'll require for the twin pushchair.

This popular twin pushchair comes with a number of useful accessories that are included such as reversible seat liners and foot muffs as well as rain covers. It's a great choice for parents who are looking for an adaptable twin pushchair that can be used from birth and will be able to accommodate their children until the age of 4 years old. It can be used either in dual or mono mode, and the frame expands to accommodate a second seat or carrycot.
