5 Laws Anyone Working In Twin Pushchair Should Know

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies that are the same age, a twin pushchair can be a great option. They have two places for your infants to travel, and usually come with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Find models that have easy-to-use push handles and an 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 allows both children to face one another. This is the preferred choice for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over who sits where. It is also a good option for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to see each one another. Tandems are often larger than single buggy however they are generally larger and may feel longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to buy a brand new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be a good option for twin babies in the beginning, because they'll need to be similar in age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in a double seat stroller (the advantage) or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off-road trails, too. It is heavier than other models but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment or with a clever double kit that attaches directly to the single seat. With the single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than other joggers we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.

Our test team loved how light and slim it is for a double travel stroller-seater, as well as offering a spacious, sturdy and comfortable ride for children.
