Buying a Twin Pushchair

Side-by-Side
A side-by-side double buggy has children placed on opposite sides, and can usually accommodate 2 fixed seats. They are often narrower than a single pushchair, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways, and more evenly weighed, making them easy to manoeuvre between kerbs.
Some have adjustable seats that allow a child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent option from the beginning, and can be used throughout the toddler years and beyond.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller with a basket on the side. This is an excellent option for kids that's both practical and fun. It is essential to make sure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you own.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems are arranged one behind the other, and provide two spaces for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of the same age because you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit, or in a car seat or baby carrier (though not all models support both). Many of the best twin strollers come with an adjustable front seat and the rear seat which is upright.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can be set either way - this means that your child can look at their older sibling or you can turn them out to the world to have more interaction. You can add an infant cocoon to both seats to create a sleeping area for your children. Additionally, the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood to protect.
You can also choose a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been designed with a rear seat that pops up to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a double pushchair through narrow doors. It's an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curved frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces as well.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can then be added to the front or back, or under. This is a low-cost option that will last longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the future.
