So , You've Purchased Pushchair Twin ... Now What?

Buying a Twin Pushchair

Direct4Baby provides a range of innovative twin and double pushchairs.

A few of our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open in a new window that allows you to make them suitable to toddlers and infants with a combination of carrycots and seat units.

Side-by-Side

The children are positioned side-by-side in a amazon double stroller stroller that is side-by-side. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They tend to be narrower than a single pushchair, so easier to pass through doors and are also more evenly weighted, making them easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down.

Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lay flat and others are designed to fit carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic option from the beginning, and is also a great choice through toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models can be converted into a single buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is an excellent option for kids that's both practical and enjoyable. However, it is important to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model prior to purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are set one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for babies of similar 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 can take both). Many of the top twin strollers come with an adjustable front seat and the rear seat which is upright.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can be positioned either way, which means that your child's younger one can look at their older sibling or you can face them out to the world to have more interaction. You can add a baby cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed lie-flat space for your infants and the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood for protection.

You can also opt for one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that opens up to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily manoeuvre a double pushchair through narrow doorways and is an ideal choice for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels makes it perfect for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem double buggy pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front, back or underneath. This is a choice that's cost-effective, durable and adaptable if you're planning to have a second child in the near future.

The egg2 is a classic model of this type 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 unit with a carrycot and infant seat or as a double pram pushchair with two seat units or even as a triple-child family rig with the addition of a 'piggyback' board that attaches to the rear of the chassis.

Convenience

When you're strolling through bustling shopping centers or taking in peaceful walks in the park, choosing the right twin pushchair can change your daily routine. There are many choices, from tandem prams which align your children together to compact twin buggies made for tight spaces. But the most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to endure the wear and tear of two children and still provide plenty of space for their belongings too.

It's a great idea to test-drive a few different models before buying a twin pushchair. You'll have an idea of how easy it is for you to steer and stop your pushchair, as well as the ease with which it folds and is stored away when it's not in use. Check the weight to make sure it is not too heavy to lift and store in your car.

A lot of top brands provide a variety of these accessories for twin pushchairs, so take the time to review the various options and figure out which is the best double strollers fit for your family.
