Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-byside in a double infant stroller stroller that is side-by-side. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They are typically narrower and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to navigate through doors.

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

Certain models can even be converted to a single buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for kids that's both practical and enjoyable. However, it is important to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before you buy.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems are arranged one behind the other and offer two spaces for your children. This arrangement is ideal for children who are the same age since you can place your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sat in a seat unit, or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all models support both). A lot of the top twin strollers have an adjustable front seat and a rear seat that is upright.

The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies while the front seat can be positioned either way. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can also include an infant cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your children. Additionally, the rear seat is equipped with a raincover and hood to protect.

You could also opt for one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be popped up to reveal a huge shopping basket when it is not in use. This makes it easy to move a double strollers pushchair around narrow doors, making it an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels makes it ideal for uneven terrains.

Some tandem pushchairs, such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start as single buggies, after which a second seat could be added either in front, behind or beneath. It's a cost-effective choice that will last longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting another child in the future.
