A Brief History History Of Pushchair Twin
Buying a Twin Pushchair
If you're looking to keep an eye on the two of your kids in a tandem with a parent or simply take advantage of the convenience of a double buggy with carrycot pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of double and twin pushchairs.
A few of our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in new window which allow you to adapt them for toddlers and babies with a combination of seats and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
The children are positioned side-by-side in a thule double stroller stroller that is side-by-side. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They are usually thinner and lighter than a single to double pushchair stroller which makes it easier to move through doors.
Some have adjustable seats that permit a child to lay flat, while others can accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is a great choice from birth, and can be used throughout the toddler years and beyond.
Certain models can even be converted into a single buggy with a huge shopping basket alongside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is an innovative option that is not only practical but also fun for kids. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you own.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is great for babies of the same age because you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit or in the car seat and baby carrier (though not all models allow both). Many of the best twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines flat and a rear upright seat.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can face either way - this means that your child's younger one can look at their sibling or you can turn them towards the world for greater interaction. You can also add a newborn cocoon for both seats to create a lay-flat area for your little ones and the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to provide protection.
You could also choose a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be folded up to reveal a large shopping basket when not being used. This makes it easy to maneuver a smallest double buggy pushchair into narrow doors. It is a great option for urban excursions. The curvature of the frame and the four-wheel suspension make it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces too.
Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after where a second seat can be added either in the front, behind or under. It's a cost-effective choice that will last longer and give you the most flexibility if you're expecting another child in the future.

Also, it can even be used as a family rig that can accommodate three children, with the addition of a 'piggyback' board connected to the chassis.
