Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and double pram pushchair pushchairs.

Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in new window which allow you to adapt them for toddlers and babies with a combination of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-by-side in a double single pushchair stroller with a side-byside design. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They are usually smaller than a single Double Stroller pushchair, so it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that one child can lie flat and others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is a fantastic option right from the beginning and can be used throughout toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller that has a large basket on the side. This is an excellent option for kids that is both practical and fun. However, it is important to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model before purchasing.

tandem double buggy

The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair, and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is ideal for children of the same age, since you can place your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a car seat or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all models 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 model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way - this means that your child can look at their sibling or you can face them out to the world for more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat space for your children. The rear seat has a raincover, hood and the recline is complete.

You could also choose one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be opened to reveal an ample shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a cheap double pushchair pushchair through narrow doors. It is a great choice for urban adventures. The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.

Some tandem pushchairs, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies, after where a second seat can be added in the front, behind or under. This is a solution that is cost-effective, durable and flexible if you plan to have another child in the near future.

The egg2 is a prime example of twin pushchairs designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It is loved by parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used as a one-person pushchair with a carrycot and infant seat or as a double buggy with carrycot with two seat units, or even 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 centres or enjoying peaceful walks in the park, choosing the right twin pushchair will change your daily routine. There are many options including tandem prams that align your children in a row, to compact twin buggies designed for tight spaces. The most important factor to consider is whether or not the twin pushchair will be capable of enduring the wear and tear of two children and still provide enough space for their belongings.

When looking for a new pushchair twin it's a good idea to try out a few models. This will give you an idea for how easy it is to steer and stop the pushchair and also the way it folds and sets up when not in use. 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, including foot muffs, rain covers and drinks holders. Many of the top brands offer a range of these accessories for twin pushchairs, so take the time to look at the various options and figure out which would work best for your family. Some twin pushchairs come with these accessories as standard. Make sure to verify before purchasing.

It's important to select the twin pushchair that is able to fit through narrow doorways and other spaces. If you're unsure then you can always ask an employee at your retailer to measure a few door frames. This will give you an idea of the amount of space you'll need for a twin pushchair.

The popular twin pushchair comes with many useful accessories included. These include reversible seat covers, foot muffs, and rain covers. It's an excellent choice for parents seeking a versatile twin pram that can be used from birth and be able to accommodate their children as young as the age of four years. It can be used either in dual or mono mode, and the frame expands to accommodate an additional seat/carrycot.
