Our favorites are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. It opens an entirely new window that can be modified for toddlers and newborns with a combination carrycot and seat unit.
Side-by-Side
The children are positioned side-by-side in a double stroller that is side-by-side. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They are usually narrower and lighter than a single stroller making it easier to navigate through doorways.
Some seats can be adjusted so that one child can lay flat and others are designed to fit carrycots. This kind of twin is a great option from the beginning, and can be used throughout toddlerhood and beyond.
Certain models, like the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller with a basket on the side. This is a fantastic option for children that is both practical and fun.

Tandem

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