Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens a new window that can be adapted for toddlers and newborns by combining carrycots and a seat unit.
Side-by-Side
A side-by-side double buggy has children placed on opposite sides and will usually have two seats fixed. They are usually smaller than a single pushchair, making them easier to get through doorways and are more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.
Some have seats that are adjustable and allow one child to lie flat, while others can accommodate carrycots. This type of twin bed is an excellent option for toddlers and babies.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller that has a large basket on the side. This is an innovative alternative that is not only practical, but also fun for kids. However, it is important to make sure that any additional accessories are compatible with the model prior to purchasing.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair and provides two places for children. This arrangement is ideal for babies of similar age because it allows you to have your newborn in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit or a baby carrier and car seat (though not all models are designed to take both). Many of the best twin strollers come with an adjustable front seat and an rear seat that is upright.
The Cybex Venus is a great example of this type of twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can face either way, which means your younger child can look at their sibling or you can face them to the world for more interaction. Add a newborn baby cocoon to both seats for a lie-flat space for your children. The rear seat comes with a raincover, hood and a full recline.

Some tandem pushchairs like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, start life as single buggies to where a second seat can be added either in front, behind or beneath. This is a cost-effective option that will last longer and give you the most flexibility if you're expecting another child in the near future.
