Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a variety of nifty twin and double pushchairs.

Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open in new window which allow you to adapt them to toddlers and infants with the help of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-byside in a double stroller with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They are usually smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to pass through doors 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 while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic choice from birth, and also works well through toddlerhood, and beyond.

Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller that has a large basket attached to it. This is a unique option that is not only practical but also fun for children. However, it is essential to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before purchasing.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair and offers two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is especially suitable for children of the same age as it lets you have your newborn in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are made to accommodate both). A lot of the top 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 for children from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way, which means that your child can look at their sibling or you can open them out to the world for greater interaction. Include a newborn cocoon on both seats for a lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a hood, raincover and the recline is complete.

You could also opt for a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be opened to reveal a huge shopping basket when it is not in use. This makes it easy to maneuver a double travel buggy pushchair into narrow doorways. It is a great choice for urban adventures. The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels make it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat can be added either in front, behind or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that lasts longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you’re expecting a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is an iconic example of this kind of twin pushchair that’s designed to be used in a variety of configurations and has been a hit with parents for its sleek design and high-end fabrics. It can be used as a single with an infant seat and carrycot or as a twin with two seat units or even as a triple-child family rig, with the addition of a piggy back board that is attached to the back of the chassis.

Convenience

Whether you’re strolling through busy shopping malls or taking a stroll through peaceful walks in the park, the right twin pushchair will transform your everyday routine. From tandem prams that align your kids side-by-side to twin buggies that are compact and designed for small spaces, there are a range of options. However, the most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to endure the wear and tear of two kids while providing plenty of space for their belongings too.

When looking for a new pushchair twin it is a good idea to try out several models. This will give you an idea for how it is easy to steer and stop the pushchair as well as how it folds up and put up when not in use. Be sure to check the weight to make sure it’s not too heavy to carry around and put in your car.

There are a variety of accessories available for twin pushchairs. These include foot muffs, rain covers. Many top brands provide a variety of these optional extras for twin pushchairs so make sure you take the time to browse through the various options and figure out which will work best for your family. Some twin pushchairs come with these accessories as standard. Make sure you check before you purchase.

Twin pushchairs can get rather heavy, so it’s crucial to choose the one that’s able to fit through doorways and other spaces that are tight. If you’re unsure about this, you can always ask an employee at the store you’re shopping with to determine the width of a few door frames in order to give you an idea of how much space you’ll need for the twin pushchair.

The popular twin pushchair comes with numerous useful accessories that are included. This includes removable seat covers, foot muffs, and rain covers. This is an excellent option for parents seeking a twin pushchair that can be used as early as birth and can accommodate children up to four years older. It can be used in mono or dual mode and has an elegant frame that expands to accommodate a second car seat.
