Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and off road double buggy pushchairs.

Our favourites include the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens an entirely new window that can be modified for toddlers and newborns by combining carrycots and a seat unit.

Side-by-Side

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

Some seats can be adjusted so that a child can lie flat while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of lightweight twin buggy bed is a great option for toddlers and babies.

Some models can even be converted to a single buggy with a huge shopping basket alongside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is an excellent option for kids that is both practical and fun. It is essential to ensure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is great for babies of the same age, since you can place your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler is in a car seat or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). A lot of the top twin strollers have a front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat has a 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 turn them towards the world to have more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat place for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a hood, raincover and an entire recline.

You could also opt for one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be popped up to reveal an ample shopping basket when not being used. This allows you to easily maneuver a lightweight double stroller pushchair into narrow doors. It's a great choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels makes it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat can be added in the front, behind or under. This is a cost-effective option that will last longer and give you the most flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is a prime example of a twin pushchair designed to be used in various configurations. It has been very popular with parents due to its attractive design and high-quality fabric. It can be used as a single pushchair that comes with carrycot, or as twins with two seat units. It can be used as a family rig for three children with the addition piggyback board connected to the chassis.

Convenience

The right twin pushchair can transform your daily routine, whether you're walking through busy shopping malls or enjoying peaceful walks in the park. From tandem pushchairs that place your kids side-by-side to compact twin buggies designed for tight spaces, there are a range of options. The most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to withstand the wear-and-tear of two kids while providing enough space for their belongings.

When shopping for a pushchair twin it is an excellent idea to try out several models. This will give you a feel of how it is easy to steer and stop the pushchair, as well as how it folds and puts 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 numerous accessories for twin pushchairs. These include foot muffs, rain covers. Many of the top brands provide a variety of these accessories for their twin pushchairs, so take the time to review the options and decide which will work best for your family. It's important to note that some twin pushchairs include a range of these items as standard, so be sure to check before you purchase.

It is essential to choose the twin pushchair that is able to be able to pass through narrow doors and other spaces. If you're not sure you're not sure, ask an employee at your chosen retailer 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.
