Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs that open in new window which allow you to adapt them to toddlers and infants with a combination of seats and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-by-side in a double stroller with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They are typically narrower and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to navigate through doorways.
Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lie flat while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is a fantastic choice from birth, and is also a great choice through toddlerhood, and beyond.
Some models can even be converted into a single buggy with a huge shopping basket alongside it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is an excellent option for children that is both practical and enjoyable. It is essential to ensure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you already have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair sits behind the twin pushchair and provides two child-friendly spaces. This arrangement is particularly good for babies of similar ages because it allows you to have your baby in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit or a car seat (though not all models are made to accommodate both). Many 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 is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way, which means your younger child can look at their sibling or you can face them towards the world to have more interaction.
