Tandem
Twin pushchairs, also referred to as tandems, are set one behind the other and provide two spaces for your children.

Many of the top twin pushchairs have an upholstered front seat that reclines flat, and a rear upright seat.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent example of a twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable for children from birth, whereas the front seat can be set either way - this means that your child can look at their older sibling or you can open them towards the world to have more interaction. You can add a baby cocoon to both seats to create an enclosed sleeping area for your infants and the rear seat comes with a hood and raincover for protection.

The bent frame and four-wheel suspension makes it ideal for coping with uneven surfaces too.
