Buying a Twin Pushchair

Whether you want to monitor both of your munchkins in a parent-facing tandem or simply appreciate the convenience of a double pushchair browse Direct4Baby's range of twin and double pushchairs.

Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in a new window that allows you to modify them for toddlers and babies by combining seat units and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side smallest double buggy buggy has the children positioned in a row, side-by-side and usually has two fixed seats. They are usually smaller and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to maneuver through doorways.

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

Certain models can even be converted to an all-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is an innovative option that is not only practical but also enjoyable for kids. It is essential to ensure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are placed one behind the other, and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age because it allows you to have your baby in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models are made to take both). Many of the best double stroller twin pushchairs come with a cushioned front seat that reclines flat and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can be positioned either way, which means your younger child can look at their sibling or you can turn them out to the world for more interaction. You can also add an infant cocoon to both seats to create a sleeping area for your children. Additionally, the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover for protection.

If you prefer, you can opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that can be raised to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This makes it easy to move a double pushchair through narrow doorways. It's an excellent option for urban excursions. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem pushchairs, like 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're planning to have another child in the near future.
