Twin Pushchair: 11 Thing You're Forgetting To Do What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great choice if you have two children or kids who are similar in age. They provide two spaces for your infants and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for newborns as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to-use push handles and an GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack tray for kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each other. Some parents prefer this style because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over which position. It is also a good option for places such as the zoo, where the children can easily see each their fellow. Tandems are often larger than single buggy but they tend to be larger and may feel longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair and can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots using an adapter. double pram and pushchair is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a new buggy once your older child is outgrowing it. It may not be the best choice for twins in their beginning stages, since they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off-road trails too. It is a bit heavier than some other options however the extra weight is the added durability.

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

This stroller is narrow and single-to-double. It is perfect for urban adventures with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It features an UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade. It also has a window that peeks out from the front seat so that both children can take in the view. This model does not come with an integrated recline however, it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for newborns or infants. It can also accommodate an infant seat, making it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers an option that is flexible, allowing you to change the configuration of your pushchair as your kids grow. The frame is initially an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors to add a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models however, they can be inserted through doors and are more suited to maneuver on roads. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat in tandem which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations that include carrycots and car seats. Our test team loved how light and slim it is for a dual-seater, as well as offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for the kids. In addition, the smart and simple one-handed recline lever located at the back of the seat unit makes it simple to get your child into a lie-flat position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It has removable seats that can be set 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 could accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have significant impact on the functionality of your twin pushchair. Look out for multiple options so that you can change the direction of your children's seats based on their mood or the situation, as well as continuing to use the same ones as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinets that allow siblings to face each other and you, or the exciting road ahead. The frame's clever design can be extended to accommodate an extra seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories available for both configurations.


A popular choice of configuration for new parents is a side-by-side configuration, where one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is narrower than a standard pushchair, and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transportation. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes with more than 20 different configurations, so you can choose the best configuration for your family, and it can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who wish to take their twins on jogging or for more adventurous adventures, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into an jogger that has both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep on top of your running partner and keep your kids entertained while they play.

Take into consideration your lifestyle when you choose a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they have additional features, such as bigger baskets and padding for the seats. You might also discover that they're more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you may need to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.

It is equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it is to ensure that it fits into your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value choose brands that have a strong focus on sustainability and provide detailed details about their manufacturing processes. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can provide important information on the most suitable twin pushchairs.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage storage basket as well as numerous compartments and pockets for your necessities. The storage areas should be easy to access even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a baby and toddler and also add the 'PiggyBack' board for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). With the new design, it is possible to attach the cocoons facing either direction, or reverse. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it simple to put away between uses.
