Side-by-Side

The children are positioned side-by-side in a side-by-side double buggy that converts to single stroller. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They are usually smaller than a single pushchair, so easier to pass through doors, and more evenly weighed, making them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.

Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lay flat, while others are designed to accommodate carrycots. This type of twin is a great option from the beginning, and also works well through the toddler years and beyond.

Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy that has a large basket on the side. This is an excellent option for children that is practical and enjoyable. It is essential to make sure that any additional accessories you buy are compatible with the model you already have.

Tandem

The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is great for babies of the same age, as you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the best twin stroller twin strollers come with the front seat that reclines and the rear seat which is upright.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can be positioned either way, which means that your child can gaze at their sibling or you can face them out to the world to have more interaction. You can add an infant cocoon to both seats to create a sleeping area for your little ones and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover to protect.
