Our favourites include the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens a new window that can be modified for both newborns and toddlers with a combination carrycot and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

A side-by-side double buggy has the children positioned side by side and usually has two seats fixed. They are often narrower than a single pushchair, so easier to get through doorways and are also more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to maneuver between kerbs.

Some seats are adjustable, which allow a child to lie flat, while others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is an excellent option from the beginning, and also works well through toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models can be converted to one buggy that has a huge shopping basket alongside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a unique option that is not only practical, but also fun for children. However, it is essential to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model prior to purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems, are placed one behind the other, and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age because it allows you to have your newborn in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are made to accommodate both). Many of the top twin strollers have a front seat that reclines and a rear seat that is upright.

The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies, while the front seat can be placed in any direction. This lets your child to look at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can add a newborn cocoon for both seats to create a sleeping area for your little ones and the rear seat is equipped with a hood and raincover to protect.

You can also pick one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be opened to reveal a huge shopping basket when it is not in use. This lets you easily move a double stroller with infant car seat pushchair through narrow doorways. It is a great choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven surfaces.

Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can then be added to the front, back or underneath. This is an option that is cost-effective, durable and flexible if you plan to have another child in the near future.
