Buying a Twin Pushchair
If you're looking to watch the two of your kids in a tandem with a parent or simply appreciate the convenience of a
double buggy with car seat pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's innovative range of twin and double pushchairs.
Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open an entirely new window that can be adjusted to toddlers and infants by combining carrycots and a seat unit.
Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-by-side in a side-by-side
nipper double buggy stroller. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They are often narrower than single pushchairs, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.
Some seats can be adjusted so that a child can lie flat while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a great choice for babies and toddlers.
Some models can even be converted to a single buggy with a huge shopping basket alongside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is an excellent option for children that is both practical and fun. However, it is important to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model before you buy.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged one behind the other, and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is especially suitable for babies of similar ages as it lets you have your newborn in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are made to take both). A lot of the top twin strollers come with a front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be positioned either way - this means your younger child can gaze at their sibling or you can open them out to the world to have more interaction. You can add a newborn cocoon for both seats to create an enclosed sleeping area for your little ones and the rear seat is equipped with a raincover and hood for protection.
You could also choose one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be popped up to reveal a large shopping basket when not being used. This lets you easily manoeuvre a
double pushchair from birth pushchair through narrow doors and is an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curvature of the frame and the four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies after which a second seat could be added either in the front, behind or under. This is a cost-effective option that lasts longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting another child in the near future.
The egg2 is an example twin pushchairs that can be used in various configurations. It has become very popular with parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used as a single with a carrycot and infant seat or as a
double buggy side by side with two seat units or even as a three-child family rig, with the addition of a 'piggy back' board that connects to the back of the chassis.
Convenience
A twin pushchair that is the right one can change your routine, whether you're strolling through busy shopping malls or taking tranquil park walks. There are many options, from tandem prams which align your babies together to compact twin buggies designed for small spaces. But the most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to withstand the wear and tear of two children and still provide ample space for their belongings too.
When shopping for a pushchair twin it's recommended to test drive several models. This will give you a feel of how easy it is to steer and stop the pushchair and also the way it folds and sets up when not in use. Be sure to check the weight to make sure it is not too heavy to carry around and put in your car.
There are many accessories for twin pushchairs. These include foot muffs as well as rain covers. Many of the top brands offer a range of these accessories for their twin pushchairs, therefore, make sure to take the time to browse through the range and see what will work best for your family. Some twin pushchairs include these accessories as a standard. Make sure to verify before purchasing.
It is essential to choose a twin pushchair that can fit through narrow doorways and other spaces. If you're unsure, it's always worth asking a member of staff at the retailer you've chosen to take measurements of the width of few door frames to give you an idea of the space you'll need for the twin pushchair.
This popular twin pushchair comes with numerous useful accessories as standard. This includes seats that can be reversible as well as foot muffs and rain covers. It's a great choice for parents who are looking for a versatile twin pram that can be used from birth and is capable of accommodating their children until the age of 4 years old.
