Twin Pushchair Isn't As Difficult As You Think What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair could be a good option. They offer two places for your little ones and usually come with a comfortable carrycot for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for double pram pushchair with easy to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cups and a snack tray for parents and kids are also beneficial.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face one the other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets which position. It is also a good option for places such as the zoo, where both children are able to easily be able to see each one another. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, however they are also larger and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs, but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to buy a brand new buggy once your older child is no longer using it. It may not be the best option for twins who are in their beginning stages, since they'll need to be of a similar weight and age.


Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in a double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel which means it can be used on trails that are off-road. It's a bit heavier than other models however the extra weight is an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that is attached directly to the single seat. It comes with a single swivel wheel on the front and an all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers that we have tested. It's also compatible with a variety of car seats.

This stroller is narrow and single-to-double. It is ideal for urban adventures thanks to its simple maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view from the front seat so that both children can take in the view. The model doesn't come with a built-in recline but can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lie-flat area for infants and newborns. It can also be fitted with a toddler seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that lets you alter the layout as your children grow. The frame starts as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models, but they can fit through doors and are easier to maneuver on kerbs. They also let you use a toddler car seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots side-byside, which works well for siblings of different age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations using seats, carrycots, and car seats. The Peach 7 from the iCandy brand is an excellent example of a double buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways using seats, car chairs and carrycots. Additionally, the clever and simple recline lever with one hand on the back of the unit makes it simple to get your child into the position of lying flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It has removable seats that can be placed to face either way, which makes it suitable for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that are attached to the middle frame are able to accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair can have a significant impact on its functionality. Be sure to look for a variety of options so that you can switch up the direction your children's seats according to their mood or situation, as well as continuing to use them as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that's extremely adaptable. It has a reversible bassinet and seat configurations, which allows siblings to face each other, one another or embark on a new adventure. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories that are available to suit both configurations.

The side-by-side configuration is a popular choice for parents who are new. One child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair and can be pushed through doors and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance has more than 20 different configurations to choose the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, made for twins, to a running jogger. Both kids will be facing forward. This allows you to keep up with your running companion while keeping your kids entertained.

Take into consideration your lifestyle when you choose a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they come with extra features such as larger baskets and more padding for the seats. You may also find they weigh a bit more than a single stroller, and you'll need purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins.

Verifying the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring that it's within your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money, look for brands who put a premium on sustainability and provide detailed details about their manufacturing procedures. You can also gain valuable information about the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events to talk to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.

Stores

You'll have to carry a lot of things for twins, so choose a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments or pockets to store your necessities. Make sure that the storage spaces are accessible with the seats in different positions, too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Because of the new design, you can attach the cocoons with either a either way or backwards. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it easy to store between usages.
