Why We Love Pushchair Twin (And You Should Also!)
Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of nifty twin and double pushchairs.
Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens an entirely new window that can be modified to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycot and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-byside double buggy can have the children positioned side by side, and can usually accommodate two fixed seats. They are usually narrower than a single pushchair, making them easier to pass through doors, and more evenly weighted, making them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.
Some have adjustable seats that allow a child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This kind of twin is a fantastic option right from the beginning and is also a great choice through toddlerhood, and beyond.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy that has a large basket on the side. This is a fantastic option for kids that's both practical and enjoyable. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is especially suitable for children of the same age as it lets you have your baby in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models can take both). Many of the best twin strollers have an adjustable front seat and a rear seat that is upright.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants while the front seat can be placed in any way. This lets your child to watch their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can add an infant cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed sleeping area for your little ones and the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to provide protection.
