A New Trend In Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies that are the same age, a twin pushchair can be a good option. They offer two spaces to transport your little ones, and usually come with comfy carrycots or chairs for newborns, and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cups and snack trays for parents and kids are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem double buggy twin pushchair lets both children to face one another. This is the preferred style of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over who sits where. It also works well when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, but they also are wider and longer when pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs, but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is an economical option for families with more than one child, and it means that you won't have to purchase an entirely new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best compact double stroller 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 used in a double or single mode and has two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres so it can cope with off-road trails too. It is heavier than other models but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either seat in the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. It features one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension, which makes it more stable than other joggers we've tested. It also works with a variety of car seats.

This stroller is narrow and single-to-smallest double buggy. It is perfect for urban adventures thanks to its simple maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view from the front seat to let both children enjoy the view. This model doesn't have an integrated recline, but it can be paired with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lie-flat space for infants and newborns. It can also be equipped with a toddler seat, making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that allows you to alter the configuration as your kids grow. The frame begins as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors to allow for the addition of a second chair or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are typically wider than a regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. 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 amazing example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations using seats, car seats and carrycots. Our test team liked how light and slim it is for a two-seater as well as offering a spacious, sturdy and comfortable ride for kids. In addition, the smart and simple one-handed recline lever on the back of the unit makes it simple to help your child get into a lie-flat position.

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

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have a major impact on the functionality of your twin pushchair. You should consider various options that allow you to change the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, the situation, or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely adaptable. It comes with a reversible seat and bassinet configurations which allows siblings to face each other, you or embark on a new adventure. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories for both types of configuration.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is a side-by-side configuration, where one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy offers the advantage of giving both children the same view. It generally narrower than a single pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair, for instance, has over 20 different configurations so that you can pick the ideal configuration for your family. it can also accommodate 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 made for twins, to a Jogger. Both kids are facing towards the forward direction. This allows you to keep pace with your running partner while keeping your children happy.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier due to the additional features, such as larger baskets and more cushioned seats. It is also possible that they're a bit more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair, and you may have to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins from the elements.

It is equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair, as it is to make sure it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value choose brands that place a high priority on sustainability and provide detailed details on their manufacturing processes. You can also gain valuable information about the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events to speak to other parents about their experiences and suggestions.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll need carry a lot. Look for a car with a large undercarriage storage basket as well as plenty of pockets and compartments for your essentials. The storage areas should be easy to access, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins, a baby sit and stand double stroller a toddler. It also has space for the 'PiggyBack board' (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 forward or backward. It features a handy standing fold that makes it simple to store between usages.
