Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and
double pushchairs.
Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in a new window that allows you to adapt them for newborns and toddlers alike by combining carrycots and seat units.
Side-by-Side
A double side-by-side buggy has children placed in a row, side-by-side, and can usually accommodate two seats fixed. They are usually narrower than single pushchairs, making them easier to pass through doors and are also 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 is a fantastic option right from the beginning and can be used throughout toddlerhood, and beyond.
Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller that has a large basket next to it. This is a unique option that is not just practical but also enjoyable for kids. However, it is essential to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model before you buy.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair, and provides two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is great for children of the same age, because you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit or in the car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the top twin pushchairs come with a cushioned front seat that reclines and a rear upright seat.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies, while the front seat can be placed either way. This allows your child to watch their older sibling or face the world. You can also add an infant cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed lie-flat space for your little ones and the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood to protect.
Alternatively, you could opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that pops up to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a double pushchair around narrow doors. It's an excellent option for urban excursions. 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 as single buggies after where a second seat can be added in front, behind or beneath. This is a solution that's cost-effective, durable and adaptable if you're planning to have another child in the near future.
The egg2 is a classic model of this type of twin pushchair that's been designed for a range of configurations. It's been loved by parents due to its sleek style and high-quality fabrics. It can be used as a one-person pushchair with a carrycot and infant seat or as a double with two seat units, or even as a triple-child family rig, with the addition of a piggy back board that is attached to the rear of the chassis.
Convenience
The right twin pushchair will transform your daily routine, whether you're jogging through busy shopping malls or taking tranquil park walks. From tandem prams that align your children side-by-side, to compact twin buggies designed to fit in tight space,
double pushchairs there's a wide range of options. The most important thing to think about is whether or not the
twin strollers for newborns pushchair will be able to withstand the wear-and-tear of two children while providing enough space for their belongings.
When you are looking for a pushchair twin it is an excellent idea to try out a few models. You'll have an idea of how it's easy to steer and stop your pushchair and the ease with which it folds and is stored away when it's not in use. You should also consider the weight of the pushchair to ensure it's not too heavy to lift into your car, and to keep in storage when not in use.
You'll find plenty of different accessories for twin pushchairs, including rain covers, foot muffs and drink holders. A lot of top brands offer a selection of these accessories for twin pushchairs so take the time to browse through the range and see what is the best fit for your family. It's important to note that some twin pushchairs might come with a selection of these items as standard, so make sure to double-check before buying.
Twin pushchairs can get rather weighty, so it's vital to select a model that will be able to fit through doorways and other tight spaces. If you're unsure you're not sure, ask a member of staff at the store you're shopping with to take measurements of the width of few door frames in order to give you an idea of the space you'll need for a twin pushchair.
The popular twin pushchair comes with many useful accessories included. This includes removable seat covers as well as foot muffs and rain covers. It's a great choice for parents who are looking for a twin pram that can be used from birth and be capable of accommodating their children until the age of four. It can be used in a mono or dual mode. It also has a clever frame that expands to accommodate a second seat/carrycot.
