Some seats can be adjusted so 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 into an all-in-one buggy with an enormous shopping basket on top of it, such as the Cybex Aton M5. This is a novel option that is not only practical but also fun for kids. It is crucial to ensure that any additional accessories are compatible with your model before you buy.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is ideal for babies who are the same age as you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler is in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though some models do not allow both). Many of the top twin pushchairs have a padded front seat that reclines flat and an upright rear seat.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin-
pushchair double. The rear seat reclines fully and is suitable for infants, while the front seat can be placed in any direction. This lets your child to look at their older sibling or face the world. Include a newborn cocoon on both seats to create a lying-flat place for your children. The rear seat is equipped with an hood, raincover and an entire recline.
You can also pick one like the Joolz Geo 3 with a rear seat which can be folded up to reveal an ample shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily maneuver a double pushchair through narrow doors and is an excellent choice for urban adventures. The curved frame of this buggy and suspension on four wheels make it ideal for uneven surfaces.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat can then be added to the front or back, or underneath. This is a choice that is cost-effective, durable and flexible if you're planning to have a second child in the near future.
