Buying a Twin Pushchair
Whether you want to keep an eye on the two of your kids in a parent-facing tandem or simply enjoy the convenience of a double pushchair, shop Direct4Baby's unique range of twin and double pushchairs.
Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens a new window that can be adapted for toddlers and newborns by combining carrycots and a seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-by-side double buggy has the children positioned in a row, side-by-side, and can usually accommodate two fixed seats. They tend to be thinner and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to move through doors.
Some have adjustable seats that allow one child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin bed is an excellent option for toddlers and babies.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy that has a large basket attached to it. This is a fantastic option for kids that is practical and enjoyable. It is crucial to make sure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is ideal for children who are the same age since you can place your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit or in a car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). A lot of the top twin strollers have a front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be set either way, which means your younger child can look at their sibling or you can open them out to the world to have more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat place for your children. The rear seat comes with a hood, raincover and an entire recline.
You can also pick an option like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be opened to reveal an ample shopping basket when it is not being used. This makes it easy to maneuver a double pushchair through narrow doorways and is an ideal 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 out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a low-cost option that will last longer and offer you a lot of flexibility if you're expecting another child in the near future.
The egg2 is an example of twin pushchairs designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It has become very popular with parents due to its elegant design and premium fabric. It can be used as a single pushchair that comes with carrycot, or as twins with two seats. Or, it can even be used as a family rig for three kids, using an 'eggyback' board that is that is attached to the chassis.
Convenience
A twin pushchair that is the right one can alter your daily routine, whether you're walking in bustling shopping centers or taking tranquil park walks. From tandem prams that align your children side-by-side, to compact twin buggies designed for tight spaces, there are a range of options available. However, the most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to withstand the wear and tear of two children while providing plenty of space for their possessions too.
When looking for a new pushchair twin, it's recommended to try out a few models. You will get a better idea of how it's easy to steer and stop your pushchair, as well as how easily it folds up and is stored away when it's not in use. You should also check out the weight of the pushchair to make sure it's not too heavy to be lifted into your car and to store away when not in use.
There are a variety of accessories for twin pushchair s, such as rain covers, foot muffs and drinks holders. Many top brands offer a range of these optional extras for their twin pushchairs, so make sure you take the time to browse through the options and decide which will work best for your family. Some twin pushchairs include these features as standard. Be sure to check prior to purchasing.
Twin pushchairs can become quite bulky, so it's important to select a model that will be able to fit through doors and other narrow spaces. If you're unsure then you can always ask someone on staff at your local store to measure some door frames. This will give you a clear idea of the amount of space you'll need to have for a twin pushchair.
This popular twin pushchair comes with many useful accessories included. They include removable seat covers, foot muffs, and rain covers. It's a great option for parents seeking an adaptable twin pushchair that can be used from birth and is capable of accommodating their children up to the age of four years.
