Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and double pushchairs.
Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens an entirely new window that can be adjusted for both newborns and toddlers by combining carrycots and a seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-by-side double buggy has the children positioned side by side and usually has two seats fixed. They are often narrower than a single pushchair, so it is easier to maneuver through doorways, and more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.
Some have adjustable seats that permit a child to lay flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin bed is a great choice for babies and toddlers.
Certain models can even be converted to a single buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a great option for kids that's both practical and fun. It is crucial to ensure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems are arranged one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar age as it lets you have your newborn in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are designed to accommodate both). A lot of the top twin strollers come with a front seat that reclines and an rear seat that is upright.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can face either way, which means that your child's younger one can look at their older sibling or you can open them out to the world to have more interaction. You can also include an infant cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed lie-flat space for your infants and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover to protect.
If you prefer, you can select an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that pops up to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily move a double pushchair through narrow doorways. It's a great choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven terrains.
Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start life as single buggies to which a second seat can be added either in the front, behind or under. This is a low-cost option that lasts longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the future.
The egg2 is an iconic example of this type of twin pushchair, which has been designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It's been popular with parents due to its sleek style and high-quality fabrics. It can be used either as a single pushchair that comes with a carrycot, or as twins with two seat units. Or, it can be used as a family rig that can accommodate three children with the addition piggyback board connected to the chassis.
lightweight double buggy can alter your daily routine, whether you're jogging in busy shopping centres or taking tranquil park walks. There are numerous choices including tandem prams that align your kids together to compact twin buggies made for small spaces. The most important thing to consider is whether or not the twin pushchair is sturdy enough to stand up to the wear and tear of two children while providing enough space for their belongings.
