Our favourites include the egg2 dual use pushchairsOpens an entirely new window that can be modified to toddlers and infants with a combination carrycots and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-by-side double buggy has children placed in a row, side-by-side, and can usually accommodate two fixed seats. They tend to be thinner and lighter than a single stroller making it easier to maneuver through doors.
Some seats are adjustable, which allow one child to lie flat and others can accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin bed is a good choice for babies and toddlers.
Certain models, like 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 only practical but also fun for kids. It is crucial to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model prior to purchasing.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other, and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for babies of similar ages as it lets you have your baby in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models can take both). Many of the best twin strollers have the front seat that reclines and an rear seat that is upright.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants, while the front seat can be set in any direction. This allows your child to watch their older sibling or face the world. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat space for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a raincover, hood and an entire recline.
double pram pushchair can also pick a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be popped up to reveal a huge shopping basket when it is not in use. This allows you to easily move a double pushchair through narrow doors. It is a great option for urban adventures. 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 life as single buggies to where a second seat can be added either in front, behind or underneath. This is a choice that's affordable, durable, and adaptable if you're planning to have a second child in the near future.
The egg2 is a prime example of a twin pushchair designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It has become very popular with parents due to its attractive design and high-quality fabric.
