Side-by-Side

The children are positioned side-by-side in a double buggy with car seat stroller with a side-byside design. It can accommodate two fixed seats. They tend to be narrower than a single pushchair, so it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly weighted, which makes 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 accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is an excellent option from the beginning, and is also a great choice through toddlerhood and beyond.

Some models can even be converted to a single buggy with a large shopping basket beside it, like the Cybex Aton M5. This is a fantastic option for children that is both practical and fun. It is crucial to check that any extra accessories are compatible with the model before you buy.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also known as tandems, are set one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of the same age, as you can put your baby in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a car seat or in the car seat and baby carrier (though some models do not allow both).

The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair.

It's a cost-effective choice that lasts longer and offer you a lot of flexibility in the event that you're expecting another child in the future.
