The Next Big Thing In Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair can be a great choice. They offer two spaces to carry your children, and usually come with comfortable carrycots or seats for newborns, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with push handles that are easy to use and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack tray for parents and children are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face each other. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in the seat they prefer. It also works well when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggys but they tend to be larger and may feel longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a new buggy after your older child is outgrowing it. It may not be the best option for twins in their beginning stages, since they'll need to be the same weight and age.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in single or double 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 is heavier than other models however it offers durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double single pushchair kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. It has one swivel on the front and all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension, which makes it more stable than other joggers that we tested. It is also compatible with many car seats.

This narrow, single to double stroller is ideal for urban adventures. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It features UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade and an open window in the front seat, so both children can take in the view. This model does not have a built in recline however, it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for newborns or infants. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that allows you to change the configuration as your kids develop. It begins as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that attach to the frame for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These types are generally larger than the regular buggy, but they can be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable through kerbs and up and down. They also permit you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is great for siblings of various ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations, including car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from iCandy is a fantastic model of a double buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways using seats, car chairs and carrycots. Additionally, the clever and easy one-handed recline lever located at the back of the seat unit makes it easy to get your child into an upright position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It has removable seats that can be placed to face forwards or backwards, making it ideal for twins of any age. It also accommodates a third child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair may significantly affect its performance. Consider a variety of seating options so that you can alter the direction of your children's seats based on their mood or the situation and continue to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that let siblings to face each other and you, or the exciting road ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It is able to be used in Mono or double stroller sale mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

A popular choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement, which means that one child is seated behind the other. This kind of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It is generally more compact than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance has more than 20 different configurations which means you can pick the best set-up for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, specifically designed for twins, into an jogger. Both kids will face towards the forward direction. This lets you keep pace with your running partner, while keeping your children happy.

In general twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than single pushchairs because they have extra features, such as bigger baskets and padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. It is also possible that they're a bit more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you may have to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins from the elements.

It's equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair, as it's to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and offer detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the best value for money. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can help you gain valuable information about the best twin pushchair.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll need carry a lot of stuff. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage basket and plenty of pockets and compartments for your essentials. Make sure the storage areas are easy to access with the seats in different positions too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby, plus has room to add a 'PiggyBack' board for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two infants in the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each) and the rejigged design means you can put them in any direction. It comes with a convenient standing fold that makes it easy to put away between usages.
