If you are expecting your second child or perhaps twins, you will need to decide on what kind of pushchair is best suited for you. Tandem pushchairs have one seat in front of the other while twin pushchairs have two seats side by side. Both of these will have comfort for your babies, but you should also look at what will be the most suitable for you as you will be the one pushing it around.
The tandem pushchair is ideal if you have a newborn and a toddler. A newborn needs to lie flat for the first three months and one of the seats in the tandem pushchair can recline fully allowing your newborn to do just that. The other seat is more upright, thus better suited to a toddler. The tandem pushchair is not as wide as a twin pushchair, making it easier to fit through doorways. The seats on the tandem are however usually wider than that of the twin pushchair, giving more comfort to your children. With your baby and toddler seated one in front of the other, it makes it much more difficult for your toddler to disturb your baby. We all know this makes your life a lot less stressful.
Some of the negative aspects of the tandem pushchair is that it is not as stable as a twin pushchair, making it not as easy to steer. It can also be difficult to fold and is quite bulky.
If you are expecting twins or if your babies are relatively close in age, a twin pushchair will probably suit you better. They are more stable and easier to steer. The seats are narrower than those of the tandem pushchair, but this shouldn’t affect you if your babies are still very small. Before you make your purchase, decide on what option would best suit you and your babies.
