What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect option if you have two kids or children of a similar age. They have two seats for your little ones and usually come with a comfortable carrycot for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Find models with easy-to-use push handles and the GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cups holders and a tray for snacks for children and parents are also beneficial.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children face each other. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling fights over which side to sit in. It's also a great option for places like the zoo, where both children are able to easily view each other. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggys however they are generally more spacious and can feel longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots with 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 has outgrown it. It's not the best option for twins in the beginning stages, since they'll have to be the same weight and age.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel which means it can be used for off-road trails. It's a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight is added durability.

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

This slim stroller, which is single to double, is ideal for urban adventures. Its easy maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It comes with a UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade. It also has an open window in the front seat so both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't come with an inbuilt recline, but it can be paired with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lie-flat area for infants and newborns. It can also be used with the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that lets you change the configuration as your kids develop. It begins as one pram but has adaptors that attach to the frame to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models however, they are able to fit through doors and are more suited to move around roads. They also permit you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is great for siblings of different age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations that include carrycots, and car seats. The iCandy Peach 7 is an excellent model of a double buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways, by using car seats, seat and carrycots. In addition, the smart and simple recline lever with one hand located on the back of the seat unit makes it easy to help your child get into an upright position.

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

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have significant impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. You should consider several options that will permit you to change the direction in which your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, situation or even as they become. 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 a new adventure. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It is able to 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 a side-by-side configuration, in which one child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transportation. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair, for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family. it can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, which is specifically designed for twins, into a jogger. Both kids are facing towards the front. This lets you keep on top of your running partner and keep the kids content as they explore.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier due to the extra features such as bigger baskets and padded seats. You might also discover that they're a bit more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you might need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to shield your twins from the elements.

Verifying the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring that it is within your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value choose brands that put a premium on sustainability and offer detailed information about their production procedures. You can also gain valuable information about the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or attending local events where you can talk to other parents about their experience and suggestions.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll need carry a lot of stuff. Choose a vehicle equipped with a huge undercarriage basket and 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 can carry twins or a toddler and a baby and also include a 'PiggyBack' table for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two infants in the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each), while the altered design lets you put them in any direction. It also comes with a handy folding design that can be stored between uses.
