Some of our favourites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairsOpens in a new window that allows you to adapt them for newborns and toddlers alike by combining seat units and carrycots.

Side-by-Side

A cheap double stroller side-by-side buggy has the children positioned side by side and usually has two seats fixed. They are often narrower than a single pushchair, making them it is easier to maneuver through doorways, and more evenly weighted, making them easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down.

Some have seats that are adjustable and allow a child to lie flat, and others can be adapted to carrycots. This type of twin bed is a good option for toddlers and babies.

Certain models can even be converted to one buggy that has an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel alternative that is not only practical but also fun for children. However, it is essential to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before you buy.

Tandem

Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other and offer two places for your children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar age as it lets you have your baby in a cosy carrycot and your toddler in a seat unit, or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are designed to take both). A lot of the top twin pushchairs have a cushioned front seat that reclines flat, and an upright rear seat.

The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for babies and the front seat can be set in any direction. This allows your child to gaze at their older sibling, or even look out at the world. You can add a newborn cocoon for both seats to create an enclosed lay-flat area for your infants and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover to protect.

If you prefer, you can opt for an option like the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that opens up to reveal a large shopping basket when not in use.

The curvaceous frame and suspension on four wheels makes it ideal for uneven terrains.

Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front or back, or under. It's a cost-effective choice that lasts longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the near future.
