Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and double pushchairs.
A few of our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open in new window which allow you to make them suitable for toddlers and babies with a combination of seat units and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
A double side-by-side buggy has the children positioned side by side, and can usually accommodate two seats fixed. They are typically narrower and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to navigate through doorways.
Some seats can be adjusted so that a child can lie flat while others are designed to fit carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent choice from birth, and also works well through toddlerhood, and beyond.
Certain models can even be converted to an all-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a unique option that is not only practical but also fun for kids. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is placed 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 is in a seat unit, or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the best twin strollers come with a front seat that reclines and an rear seat that is upright.
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 set either way - which means that your child's younger one can look at their sibling or you can turn them towards the world for greater interaction. You can also include a newborn cocoon for both seats to create an enclosed lay-flat area for your children. Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover for protection.
Alternatively, you could choose an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that pops up to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily move a double pushchair around narrow doors. It's a great choice for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces as well.
Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start life as single buggies to which a second seat can be added in front, behind or beneath. This is a solution that is cost-effective, durable and flexible if you're planning to have another child in the near future.
The egg2 is an example of twin pushchairs that can be used in many different 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 as twins with two seat units. Or, it can even be used as a family rig that can accommodate three kids, using an 'eggyback' board that is attached to the chassis.
Convenience
When you're strolling through bustling shopping malls or taking a stroll through peaceful walks in the park, the right twin pushchair will change your daily routine. From tandem prams that align your children side-by-side, to compact twin buggies designed for small spaces, there's a variety of options. However, the most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to withstand the wear and tear of two children and still provide ample space for their belongings too.
When looking for a new pushchair twin it is an excellent idea to test drive several models. You will get a better idea of how it's easy to control and stop your pushchair and how easily 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 to carry and store in your car.
