Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby provides a range of nifty twin and double pushchairs.
Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens a new window that can be modified for toddlers and newborns with a combination carrycots and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-byside in a side-by-side double stroller. It can be fitted with two seats fixed. They are often smaller than a single pushchair, so it is easier to maneuver through doorways, and more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.
Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that a child can lie flat and others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of twin bed is a good choice for babies and toddlers.
Some models can even be converted to an all-in-one buggy with a large shopping basket beside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a great option for kids that is both practical and fun. It is important to ensure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you own.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age as it lets you put your infant in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are designed to take both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines and an upright seat in the rear.
The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat offers a full recline and is suitable from birth, while the front seat can be set either way - which means that your child's younger one can look at their sibling or you can open them towards the world to have more interaction. double buggy can also include a newborn cocoon for both seats to create a lay-flat area for your infants and the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood to provide protection.

The curved frame and four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces too.
