The Next Big Thing In Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option if you have two kids or children who are similar in age. They provide two places to carry your children and are usually equipped with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants, as well as car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models that have easy-to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cups and snack trays for parents and children are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each other. This is the preferred style of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over which side to sit in. It's also a great alternative for places such as the zoo, where both children are able to be able to see each other. Tandems can be larger than single buggy but they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair and can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to buy a brand new buggy once your older child is no longer using it. However, it may not be a good option for twin babies in the beginning, because they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger that can be used in a cheap double stroller or single mode and has two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can cope with off-road trails, too. It is a little heavier than some other options however the extra weight is an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double stroller for tall parents jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment or with a nifty double push chair kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. It features a single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers we've tested. It is also compatible with a variety of car seats.

This slim stroller, which is single to double, is perfect for urban excursions. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It features UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide shade, and a window that peeks out from the front seat, so both children can enjoy the view. This model does not come with a built in recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for infants and newborns. It can also be used with an infant seat, making it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that allows you to alter the configuration as your kids get older. It starts out as one pram but has adaptors that connect to the frame to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are much easier to move around roads. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations using seats, 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 using seats, car seats and carrycots. The simple and easy one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the seat unit also makes it simple for your child to lay flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It has removable seats that can be placed to face either direction, or reverse, making it suitable for twins of any age. It also accommodates another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have an impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for several options that will permit you to change the direction your child's seat is facing based on their mood, circumstances or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another either with you or the exciting route ahead. The frame expands to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

A popular option for parents who are new is the side-by-side arrangement, where one child sits behind the other. This kind 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, has over 20 different configurations, so you can choose the perfect set-up for your family, and it can even take two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins jogging or go on more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into a jogger with both kids facing forwards. This allows you to keep up with your running companion and keeps the kids happy while they play.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they have additional features, such as larger baskets and more cushioned seats. You might also notice that they are a bit heavier than a single stroller, and you'll need purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to safeguard your twins.

It is equally important to assess the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it is to make sure 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 you're getting the most value for money. You can also gain valuable insights into the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or at local events where you can talk to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage basket and plenty of compartments and pockets to store your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. 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 included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can put the cocoons either facing either way or backwards. It also comes with a handy folding stand that makes it easy to store between uses.
