Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of nifty twin and double pushchairs.
A few of our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in a new window, which allows you to adapt them for toddlers and babies with the help of seats and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
A side-byside double buggy can have children placed in a row, side-by-side, and can usually accommodate two seats fixed. They are typically thinner and lighter than a single stroller which makes it easier to navigate through doorways.
Some have adjustable seats that allow a child to lie flat and others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin bed is an excellent option for toddlers and babies.
Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller with a basket on the side. This is an innovative option that is not just practical but also enjoyable for children. It is essential to ensure 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 child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is especially suitable for children of the same age as it means you can put your infant 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). A lot of the top twin strollers come with the front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat offers a full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be set either way, which means that your child can gaze at their sibling or you can turn them to the world for more interaction. You can also include a newborn cocoon for both seats to create an enclosed sleeping area for your little ones and the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to provide protection.
Alternatively, you could opt for one of the models like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been built with a rear seat that opens up to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a double pushchair through narrow doorways. It is a great choice for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension of this buggy makes it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces as well.
Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start life as single buggies to which a second seat could be added in front, behind or underneath. This is a choice that is cost-effective, durable and flexible if you plan to have a second child in the near future.
The egg2 is an example a twin pushchair designed to be used in a variety of configurations. It has been popular with parents because of its stylish design and high-quality fabric. double infant strollers can be used as a one-person pushchair with an infant seat and carrycot, or as a twin with two seat units, or even a three-child family rig by adding the use of a 'piggy back' board that is attached to the back of the chassis.
Convenience
The right twin pushchair can alter your daily routine, whether you're jogging in bustling shopping centers or enjoying peaceful walks in the park. There are many choices including tandem prams that align your kids side by side to compact twin buggies made for small spaces. The most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair is able to withstand the wear-and-tear of two kids and still provide enough space for their belongings.
It's a good idea to test-drive a few different models before you buy a twin pushchair. You'll have an idea of how it's easy to control and stop your pushchair, as well as how easily it folds and stores away when not in use. You should also consider the weight of the pushchair to make sure it's not too heavy to lift into your car and to put away when not in use.
There are many accessories for twin pushchairs. These include foot muffs, rain covers. Many top brands offer a selection of these accessories for twin pushchairs, therefore, make sure to take the time to look at the various options and figure out which is the best fit for your family. Some twin pushchairs include these accessories as standard. Make sure to verify before you purchase.
It is essential to choose a twin pushchair that can be used in narrow doorways and other spaces. If you're not sure you're not sure, ask the staff at your chosen retailer to measure the width of a couple of door frames to give you an idea of how much space you'll need for a twin pushchair.
This popular twin pushchair comes with a number of useful accessories that are included, including reversible seat liners as well as foot muffs, rain covers. This is a fantastic option for parents looking for a twin pram which can be used from the moment of birth and can be used by children up to four years old. It can be used either in mono or dual mode, and the frame expands to accommodate a seat/carrycot.
