Side-by-Side

A side-by-side double travel stroller buggy has the children positioned on opposite sides and usually has two fixed seats. They are often smaller than single pushchairs, making them easier to pass through doors and are more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that one child can lie flat and others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is a fantastic choice from birth, and also works well through toddlerhood and beyond.

However, it is important to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model prior to purchasing.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for babies of similar age because it allows you to have your newborn in a cozy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models can accommodate both). Many of the best twin pushchairs come with a padded front seat that reclines and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be positioned either way, which means that your child's younger one can gaze at their sibling or you can open them to the world for greater interaction. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat area for your children. The rear seat is equipped with a raincover, hood and the recline is complete.
