Our favourites include the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open an entirely new window that can be adapted for toddlers and newborns with a combination carrycots and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-by-side in a side-by-side double running buggy stroller. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They tend to be smaller than a Single Double Stroller pushchair, so easier to pass through doors, and more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down.
Some have adjustable seats that allow a child to lie flat and others can accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is a fantastic option right from the beginning and can be used throughout toddlerhood and beyond.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy that has a large basket next to it. This is an innovative option that is not only practical, but also fun for children. However, it is important to check that any extra accessories are compatible with your model prior to purchasing.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are set one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar ages as it means you can have your newborn in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models can accommodate both). Many of the top twin pushchairs come with a padded front seat that reclines flat, and an upright rear seat.
The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way - which means your younger child can gaze at their sibling or you can open them to the world to have more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat area for your children. The rear seat is equipped with an hood, raincover and an entire recline.
You could also opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be opened to reveal a huge shopping basket when not being used. This allows you to easily manoeuvre a cheap double buggy pushchair through narrow doorways and is an excellent choice for urban adventures. This buggy's curved frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven surfaces.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can be added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a cost-effective option that will last longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the future.
The egg2 is an example of twin pushchairs designed to be used in various configurations. It is very popular with parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used either as a single pushchair, with a carrycot, or twins with two seat units. Or, it can be used as a family rig for three children with the addition a 'piggyback' board attached to the chassis.
Convenience
If you're walking through bustling shopping centers or taking in peaceful walks in the park, the right twin pushchair will change your daily routine. There are a variety of choices from tandem pushchairs that align your babies together to compact twin buggies made for small spaces. However, the most important thing to consider is whether the twin pushchair can withstand the wear and tear of two kids, whilst offering plenty of space for their possessions too.
It's a great idea test drive a variety of models before you buy a twin pushchair. You'll have a better idea of how it's easy to steer and stop your pushchair, as well as the ease with which it folds and can be stored away when not in use. It is also important to check the weight of the pushchair to make sure it's not too heavy to carry into your car or keep in storage when not in use.
There are many accessories for twin pushchairs. These include foot muffs and rain covers. These extras are available from numerous top brands for twin pushchairs. Make sure to look through the various options and decide what is most suitable for your family. Some twin pushchairs include these features as standard. Make sure to verify prior to purchasing.
Twin pushchairs can get rather heavy, so it's crucial to select the one that's capable of fitting through doorways and other tight spaces. If you're unsure, you can always ask a member of the staff at your store to take measurements of some door frames. This will give you a clear idea of the space you need for twin pushchairs.
This popular twin pushchair comes with numerous useful accessories included. This includes seats that can be reversible, foot muffs, and rain covers. It's an excellent choice for parents seeking a twin pram that can be used from birth and will be capable of accommodating their children as young as the age of four years. It can be used in a mono or dual mode, and comes with a clever frame that expands to accommodate a second seat/carrycot.
