Nine Things That Your Parent Teach You About Twin Pushchairs

Buying a Twin Pushchair

When looking for a twin pushchair it's important to consider the various options available. The most popular options are twin double buggies and side-by-side double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry Twin buggy is loved by parents and will develop with your family. It is an individual buggy that can be converted to double by adding two carrycots or a car seats.

Easy to maneuver

Whether you're taking twins out for a stroll or have a toddler and a baby at the same stage the double pushchair is an essential tool in keeping them content. Double buggys or twin prams, as they are often referred to, are available in a variety of configurations that will suit any family. Some are side by side and others have an entrance and a back for small spaces. Some are also able to be converted into single prams when your kids grow out of them, making them a good option for growing families.

They are less difficult to steer than tandem twin buggies, as the front wheels can be locked to provide extra stability. They also have more storage behind them. They are smaller than other twin buggies, and more maneuverable through doorways or on public transport. They're lighter than other twin prams, and can be more mobile, but you may find it difficult to maneuver them on kerbs or on uneven terrain.

The iCandy Peach, which comes in a variety of colors and is a stylish twin pushchair with a more sleek design. It's also a great twin pushchair for newborns and infants, thanks to its cosy newborn cocoons that provide an enclosed lie-flat space. It has a small basket, but it has impressive suspension that allows it to be able to handle bumpy surfaces.

Many twin buggies are travel systems that have car seats that can attach to the frame. This is helpful when traveling with babies and toddlers, as you don't need to transfer them from their car to their pushchair. This could cause them to be disturbed. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an example of twin pushchairs that can be used as a travel system, and it even has a nifty mode that allows parents to be in the same room with their babies.

Tandem twin buggies are made for children of similar ages. They are more likely to have an individual seat for each child. They are less likely to have carrycots for infants younger than six months old and tend to be larger than single buggies. They're still maneuverable, but many have recline seats that are independent, which means both kids can sit upright or be in a snooze-position.

Folding is simple

It is important for your double pushchair to be easy-to-fold should you decide to purchase it. This will allow you to transport the triple stroller from one location to another, and will allow you to store it in a smaller space. There are many ways to fold your pushchair. Some models come with an adjustable shoulder strap, making it easier to carry.

Most twin pushchairs are foldable with one hand, but it is important to confirm before you buy that yours can do this. A few of the top models can be folded with the seat removed, which makes them more compact. This is especially helpful if you have limited storage space.

A twin pushchair that is too large may not be able to pass through standard doors. It is important to determine the width of your door before purchasing twin buggies. There are slimmer models that can be used to fit through narrower doorways if this is an issue.

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

The majority of twin buggys have ample storage space, but it's worth checking whether it's accessible with both seats in use. Certain side-by-side configurations can be tricky, and the "one above, one below' style of tandem could leave access blocked by a child's legs. Find large baskets, pockets and compartments that can hold everything from snacks and toys to sunscreen and rain covers.

It is also important to think about the kind of accessories available. Some twin pushchairs come with a range of extras that can be useful including drink holders for your little ones to snack tray for older children. It's worth looking for a model that has these features as well as a sun canopy built-in or rain cover, as well as a the hood to keep your little ones protected.

You'll be able to find models that fold with the seats detached for even more compact storage, although they are usually best used at home. You should also consider the weight of the double buggy. The heavier buggies are difficult to maneuver and could be difficult to maneuver up or down kerbs.

Most twin pushchairs are fixed side-by-side models, but some can accommodate two carrycots or seat units (and sometimes a third). Some twin pushchairs are suitable for single children with a difference of less than two years or siblings.
