Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a variety of innovative twin and double pushchairs.

Our favourites include the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open an entirely new window that can be adapted to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycots and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side double buggy has children placed on opposite sides and usually has two seats fixed. They tend to be narrower than a single pushchair, so easier to pass through doors and are more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to maneuver between kerbs.

Some have seats that are adjustable and allow one child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent choice from birth, and can be used throughout toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models can be converted to one buggy that has an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel option that is not just practical but also fun for children. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you own.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged 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 designed to take both). Many of the top twin pushchairs come with a cushioned front seat that reclines and a rear upright seat.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for infants and the front seat can be placed in any direction. This lets your child to look at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. Include a newborn cocoon on both seats to create a lying-flat place for your children. The rear seat comes with a raincover, hood and the recline is complete.

You can also pick a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be folded up to reveal an ample shopping basket when not being used. This makes it easy to maneuver a double pushchair through narrow doors and is the ideal option for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces too.

Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start life as single buggies to which a second seat could be added either in the front, behind or under. This is a choice that's cost-effective, durable and flexible if you're planning to have another child in the near-term.

The egg2 is an iconic example of this kind of twin pushchair that's made to work with a variety of configurations and has been popular with parents due to its sleek design and premium fabrics. It can be used as a single with a carrycot and infant seat or as a double with two seat units, or even as a three-child family rig, with the addition of a 'piggyback' board that attaches 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, choosing 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 tight space, there's a wide range of options available. However, the most important consideration is whether the twin pushchair can stand up to the wear and tear of two children, whilst offering plenty of space for their belongings as well.

It's a great idea test drive a variety of models before you buy a twin pushchair. This will give you a feel of how it is easy to steer and stop the pushchair and also how it folds and puts up when it's not in use. You should also check out the weight of the pushchair to ensure it's not too heavy to carry into your car or keep in storage when not in use.

There are a variety of accessories available for twin pushchairs. These include rain covers, foot muffs and drink holders. A lot of top brands provide a variety of these accessories for their twin pushchairs, so make sure you take the time to review the range and see what will work best for your family. It's also worth noting that some twin pushchairs may include a variety of these items as standard, so be sure to double-check before buying.

Twin pushchairs can become quite bulky, so it's important to choose the one that's able to fit through doorways and other spaces that are tight. If you're unsure, it's always worth asking a member of staff at your chosen retailer to take measurements of the width of few door frames in order to give you an idea of the space you'll need for the twin pushchair.

This popular twin pushchair comes with a number of useful accessories as standard, including reversible seat liners as well as foot muffs, rain covers. It's a great choice for parents seeking an adaptable twin pushchair that can be used from birth and be capable of accommodating their children up to the age of four years. It can be used in a mono or dual mode and has a clever frame that expands to accommodate a second hand double buggy seat or carrycot.
