Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open an entirely new window that can be adapted for both newborns and toddlers with a combination carrycot and seat unit.

Side-by-Side

The children are placed side-by-side in a side-by-side double buggy newborn stroller. It can accommodate two seats fixed. They tend to be thinner and lighter than a single stroller, making it easier to move through doorways.

Tandem

This arrangement is great for babies of the same age, because you can put your newborn in a carrycot while your toddler sits in a seat unit or in a car seat or baby carrier (though not all models support both).

The Cybex Venus is a great model of this kind of twin pushchair. The rear seat has a full recline and is suitable for children from birth, while the front seat can be positioned either way - this means your younger child can look at their older sibling or you can turn them out to the world for greater interaction.
