Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in a new window, which allows you to modify them for newborns and toddlers alike with the help of seats and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
A double pram with reversible seats side-by-side double buggy with carrycot has children placed in a row, side-by-side and usually has two fixed seats. They are usually narrower than a single pushchair, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways and are 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 while others are designed to fit carrycots. This kind of twin bed is an excellent choice for babies and toddlers.
Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single buggy that has a large basket attached to it. This is a fantastic option for kids that's both practical and fun. It is essential to ensure that any additional accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is arranged behind the twin pushchair, and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of the same age as you can put your infant in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit, or in a car seat and baby carrier (though not all models allow both). Many of the best twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines flat and an upright seat in the rear.
The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines completely and is suitable for babies and the front seat can be positioned in any direction. This allows your child to look at their older sibling or face the world. You can add a baby cocoon to both seats to create a lie-flat space for your infants and the rear seat comes with a raincover and hood to provide protection.
You could also opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat that can be opened to reveal a huge shopping basket when not in use. This allows you to easily maneuver a lightest double stroller pushchair into narrow doorways. It's an excellent option for urban excursions. The bent frame and four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces too.
Some tandem pushchairs such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a low-cost option that will last longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting another child in the near future.
