Why We Do We Love Pushchair Twin And You Should Also

Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby provides a range of innovative twin and double buggy pushchairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The children are positioned side-by-side in a side-by-side double stroller. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They are usually narrower than a single pushchair, making them easier to get 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 and others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a great option for toddlers and babies.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy that has a large basket next to it. This is a novel option that is not just practical but also enjoyable for kids. However, it is important to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model before purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is great for babies who are the same age as you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit, or in a car seat or baby carrier (though not all models allow both). Many of the top twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines flat and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants, while the front seat can be placed in any way. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling or face the world. Include a newborn cocoon on each seat to create a comfortable lie-flat space for your children. The rear seat has a hood, raincover and a full recline.

If you prefer, you can choose a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that opens up to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a double pram buggy pushchair around narrow doorways. It is a great option for urban adventures. The bent frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for handling uneven surfaces as well.

Some tandem pushchairs such as 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 choice that's affordable, durable, and flexible if you're planning to have another child in the near-term.

The egg2 is a classic model of this type of twin pushchair that's made to work with a variety of configurations. It's a hit with parents for its sleek design and premium fabrics. It can be used as a single unit with an infant seat and carrycot, 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

If you're walking through bustling shopping malls or taking a stroll through peaceful walks in the park, choosing the right twin pushchair can transform your routine. From tandem double buggy pushchairs that place your children side-by-side, to twin buggies that are compact and designed to fit in tight spaces, there are a range of options available. However, the most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair will endure the wear and tear of two kids and still provide plenty of space for their belongings as well.

It's a good idea to test-drive a few different models before you buy a twin pushchair. You'll get an idea of how it is easy to steer and stop your pushchair, as well as the ease with which it folds and is stored away when it's not in use. You should also consider the weight of the pushchair to ensure it's not too heavy to carry into your car and to store away when not in use.

There are a variety of accessories for twin pushchairs, including rain covers, foot muffs and drink holders. Many top brands offer a range of these optional extras 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 important to note that some twin pushchairs might include a variety of these extras as standard, so be sure to confirm this before purchasing.

Twin pushchairs can become quite weighty, so it's vital to select a model that will be able to fit through doorways and other spaces that are tight. If you're not sure you're not sure, ask the staff at your chosen retailer to take measurements of the width of couple of door frames to give you an idea of how much space you'll need for a twin pushchair.

The popular twin pushchair comes with a range of useful accessories as standard such as reversible seat liners as well as foot muffs, rain covers. It's an excellent choice for parents seeking an adaptable twin pushchair that can be used from birth and will be capable of accommodating their children up to the age of four. It can be used in mono or dual mode and the frame can expand to accommodate a seat/carrycot.
