It s 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 of a similar age. They have two places to carry your children, and usually come with cosy 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 an GIANT storage basket. Add-ons such as cups holders and a tray for snacks for kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing the children to look at each the other. Some parents like this design since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets which seat. It is also a good option when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids can see each other easily. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggy but they tend to be larger and may feel longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families with more than one child. Additionally, it means that you don't have to buy an entirely new buggy once your older child outgrows it. However, it might not be the best choice for twins in the early months since they'll have to be of similar age and weight.

The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy, and can hold two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel, so it can also be used for off-road trails. It's a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight brings added durability.

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

This narrow, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban excursions thanks to its simple maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has a UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view from the front seat so that both children can take in the view. This model does not come with a built in recline however, it can be paired up with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for infants and newborns. It can also be equipped with a toddler seat, making it an all terrain double buggy-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your children get older. The frame is initially an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors attached to it to allow for the addition of a second chair or carrycot, or even a car seat. These types are generally wider than a regular buggy, but they can be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable between kerbs. They also let you use a toddler seat and infant car seat or two carrycots side-by-side which is great for siblings of varying age.

It also accommodates another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board, which attaches to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could have a significant impact on its efficiency. Look out for multiple options to alter the direction of your children's seats based on their mood or the circumstances and also continue to use the same ones as they grow.

The frame expands to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used 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 which means that one child is seated behind the other. This kind of twin buggy offers the advantage of giving both children the same view. It is generally more compact than a single pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example has more than 20 different configurations which means you can pick the best set-up for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins for a jog or go on more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this smallest double buggy buggy side-by-side into a jogger with both children facing towards the front.

You may also find they are a bit heavier than a single stroller and you'll need purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to safeguard your twins.
