What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
A twin pushchair is a great option if you have two children or kids of a similar age. They offer two spaces to carry your children, and usually come with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants, as well as car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.
Look out for models with push handles that are easy to use and a GIANT storage basket. Add-ons such as cups and a snack tray for parents and kids are also beneficial.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each the other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets the seat they prefer. It is also a good option for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they are also wider and longer when pushed.
Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair and can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best option for twin babies in the beginning as they'll need to be the same age and weight.
Another type of twin buggy is the jogger that can be utilized in double or single mode and has two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can handle off-road trails as well. It is a little heavier than other models however the extra weight comes with an increased durability.
The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative double kit that is attached directly to the single seat. It has one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers we tested. It also works with a variety of car seats.
This compact, single-to- double stroller is perfect for urban excursions thanks to its simple maneuverability and large shopping basket. It features a UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade and a window that peeks out from the front seat so both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't have an integrated recline, but it can be paired up with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants and newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler's seat, making it an all-seater.
Convertible
A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to change the configuration as your children grow. It is initially one pram but has adaptors that attach to the frame for a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These types are generally wider than a regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side, which is great for siblings.
The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations that include car seats and carrycots. The iCandy Peach 7 is an excellent example of a double buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways by using car seats, seat and carrycots. The intuitive and clever one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the seat unit makes it easy for your child to lie flat.
The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be placed to face either direction, or reverse, making it suitable for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that attach to the middle frame are able to accommodate an additional child.
Multiple configurations
The seating configuration can have an impact on the functionality of your twin pushchair. You should consider several options that allow you to change the direction your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the circumstances or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that's extremely adaptable. It has reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other, you, or a new adventure. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.
A popular choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is the side-by-side arrangement, in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin pushchair has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It is typically narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations, so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family. it can even take two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.
The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, which is designed for twins, into an jogger. Both kids are facing towards the forward direction. This allows you to keep up with your running partner, while keeping your kids entertained.
In general twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than single pushchairs because they have additional features like more spacious baskets and seats that are padded, so consider your lifestyle before choosing this type of stroller. You might also discover that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair and you might need to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins from the elements.
It is equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair . This is because it is to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value, look for brands who place a high priority on sustainability and offer detailed details about their manufacturing methods. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can help you gain important information on the most suitable twin pushchair.
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 plenty of pockets and compartments for your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons included (PS59 each). Because of the new design, you can attach the cocoons facing either way or backwards. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it simple to store between uses.
