Buying a Twin Pushchair

When you are looking for a twin pushchair it's important to consider the different configurations that are available. Two options to consider are tandem double buggies as well as side-by-side double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry twin buggy is an absolute hit with parents and will expand with your family. It starts life as a single, but will use two carrycots or car seats in double mode.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A double pushchair can be lifesaving for families with twins or a baby and toddler. Double buggys, or twin prams as they are sometimes referred to, are available in a variety of configurations to accommodate all types of families. Some are side by side with others having an entrance and a back for smaller spaces. Some can also be transformed into single prams once your little ones outgrow them, which makes them an ideal option for families with growing children.

They are less difficult to steer than tandem twin buggies as the front wheels can be locked for extra stability. There is also more storage space behind them. They are smaller than other twin buggies, and are easier to maneuver through doors or on public transport. They are generally lighter than other twin prams, and can be more compact too, although you might find them harder to get up and down kerbs or on rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach, which comes in a variety of colors and is a stylish twin pushchair with a sleeker design. It's also a great twin stroller for newborns and babies, thanks to the cosy newborn cocoons which provide a slumber-free, enclosed space. It has a small basket and has an impressive suspension that allows it to handle bumpy surfaces.

A lot of twin buggies are able to be used as travel systems, which means they have car seats that can be connected to the frame. This is useful when travelling with babies and toddlers because you don't have to move them from the car to the pushchair. This could cause them to be disturbed. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an example of a twin pushchair that can be used as a travel system, and it even has a nifty parent-facing mode for newborns.

Tandem twin buggies are made for children of similar ages. They are more likely to have separate seats for each child. They're less likely to feature carrycots for babies, and are usually wider than single buggies. They can be manoeuvred, though, and many have recline seats that are independent so that both kids can sit up or be reclined to snooze.

Easy to fold





If you're buying a double pushchair, you'll likely want it to be easy to fold. This will make it easy for you to move the buggy around and also store it in smaller spaces. Most brands offer a number of different ways to fold the pushchair, so you can find one that suits your requirements. Some models even come with a handy shoulder strap to make it easier for you to carry.

Most twin pushchairs can be folded using just one hand, however it is worth checking before purchasing that yours will be able to do this. Some of the best models can fold down with the seat taken out which makes them smaller. This is especially helpful for those with limited storage space.

A twin pushchair that is too large may not be able to pass through doors that are standard. The larger width of tandem buggies can sometimes be an issue, so it's worth measuring the door's width before you purchase. There are slimmer models that can be used to fit through narrower doors in the event that this is a problem.

In our tests in our lab tests, the UPPAbaby Vista was a winner for its ability to fold and compact when not in use. It can accommodate two infant car seats and two toddler seats, making it a good option for families that are growing. It comes with a large storage basket, as well as rubber tires with foam filling that won't flatten.

It's more affordable than other models we evaluated and is a great choice for twins or babies with similar age ranges. It can be used as a comfortable seat unit or a carrycot, and can accommodate three children when you add the use of UPPAbaby’s PiggyBack Board (sold separately).

Chicco Cortina together is a fantastic option for two strollers that is affordable. It can accommodate two Chicco infant car seats, making it suitable for twins starting at birth. It comes with a large storage basket, a simple to use handlebar and brakes.

Easy to store

The good news is that not all double buggies are large heavy, bulky, and difficult to store. There are many models that are designed to ensure they are slim and manageable. This makes them easier to be compact and make it easier to get in and out of cars.

Some twin pushchairs are also light and easy to transport and handle busses, trains and shopping aisles. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 comes to mind, with its lightweight frame that can handle rough terrain and four-wheel suspension. It can also carry twins (or an infant and a toddler) by adding the 'piggyback' board.

It is important to determine if the storage space is still accessible when the seats are both in use. Certain side-by-side configurations can be tricky and the "one above one below, one above' type of tandem could hinder access due to child's legs. Find large baskets, pockets and compartments to store everything from sun cream and rain covers to snacks and toys.

Consider the add-ons that are available. Some twin pushchairs include various extras that can be useful such as drink holders for your little ones to snack trays for older children. Look for models that have these features, as well as an integrated sun canopy, raincover and hood.

Many twin pushchairs are convertible into an entire travel system that can accommodate families that are growing. They come with the option of adding an automobile seat, buggy seat, or carrycot. This is especially beneficial for newborns and toddlers, as it ensures that they're secure, comfortable and ready for any adventure. The egg2 is a very popular choice with its sleek styling and flexibility, though it can be a bit heavier than its competitors.

If you're on a strict budget, there are some excellent options that cost less than PS200. The iCandy Pegasus 2 is a excellent choice, thanks to its large basket and easy access storage for all seating positions. It also comes with a padded leg support and a rain cover.

Easy to transport

If you plan on using your twin buggy on long-distance family trips and city excursions, you should look into a model which can fold down to fit inside the trunk or in a rental vehicle. A compact and easy-to-manage design will also help you negotiate narrow doors and aisles on public transportation.

You'll be able to find models that fold with seats separating for smaller storage, however these are often best left for home use. You should consider the weight of the buggy as well - heavier double buggies tend to be more difficult to maneuver and might struggle to navigate up or down kerbs.

Most twin pushchairs are fixed side-by-side designs, with some that can accommodate two carrycots, or seat units (and sometimes a third). Some twin pushchairs can be used by single children with an age gap of less than 2 years or by siblings. The fantastic Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo is an excellent example of this with convertible seats that let the kids face either one another or you as well as different configurations suitable from the time of birth until toddlerhood.

Push Chairs And Prams is an ideal option for families who live near public transport routes as it's usually simpler to hop on and off buses, trains or trams. It is ideal for towns and cities with lots of people, busy streets, or shopping centers.
