Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-by-side in a double stroller that is side-by-side. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They are usually narrower than single pushchairs, making them easier to get through doorways, and more evenly weighed, making them easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.
Some seats can be adjusted to ensure that a child can lie flat and others are designed to fit carrycots. This kind of twin is a great option from the beginning, and can be used throughout the toddler years and beyond.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be converted into a single buggy with a basket attached to it. This is a unique option that is not just practical but also enjoyable for kids. It is essential to make sure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
Twin pushchairs, referred to as tandems are arranged one behind the other and provide two places for your children. This arrangement is particularly good for babies of similar ages as it means you can have your newborn in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models are designed to take both). Many of the top twin pushchairs come with an upholstered front seat that reclines flat and an upright rear seat.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for infants and the front seat can be placed in any way. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can also include a baby cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your children. Additionally, the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood for protection.
You could also choose a model like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be popped up to reveal an ample shopping basket when not being used. This lets you easily move a double pushchair through narrow doorways. It's a great option for urban excursions. The bent frame and four-wheel suspension of this buggy makes it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces as well.
