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 carry your children and typically come with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.
Look out for models with easy to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Accessories like cups and snack trays for parents and kids are also handy.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in which position. double pram pushchair is also a good option for visiting places like the zoo, where both children can easily see each other. Tandems are often larger than single buggy however they tend to be larger and may feel longer when pushed.
Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. It's not the best option for twins in their early years, as they'll need to be of a similar weight and age.
The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and air-filled tyres so it can handle off-road trails too. It is heavier than other alternatives but it also has 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 attaches directly to the single seat. With one swivel front wheel 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 stroller is narrow and single-to-double. It is perfect for urban excursions due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It features a UPF 50+ sun canopy that expands to provide real shade. It also has a window that peeks out from the front seat so both children can take in the view. This model does not come with recline built-in however, it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for newborns or infants. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat, making it an all-seater.
Convertible
A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to change the configuration as your kids get older. It is initially an individual pram, but it has adaptors that attach to the frame for a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be larger than the typical buggy, but are able to fit through doorways and are much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. They also let you use a toddler car seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots side-byside which is ideal for siblings of different age.
The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great example of this type. double pram pushchair can be configured in a variety of ways, including seats, car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from iCandy is a great example of a double-buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways, using seats, car seats and carrycots. In addition, the smart and simple recline lever with one hand on the back of the unit makes it easy to get your child in a lie-flat position.
The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of convertible twin strollers with seats that are removable and can be set to face forward or backward, making it suitable for twins of all age groups. It can also accommodate a third child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.
Multiple configurations
The seating configuration of your twin pushchair may affect its efficiency. It is important to look for various options that allow you to alter the direction your child's seat is facing based on their mood, the situation, or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other either with you or the exciting road ahead. The clever frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. It can be used in either Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories that are available for both configurations.
A common choice of configuration for new parents is a side-by-side configuration, where one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is narrower than a standard pushchair and can be pushed through doors and on public transportation. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example, offers over 20 configurations which means you can pick the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.
If you want to take their twins on jogging or go on more adventurous adventures with the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy a jogger with both kids facing forwards. This allows you to keep pace with your running companion and keeps your kids entertained as they explore.
In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than their single counterparts because they have additional features such as more spacious baskets and seats that are padded, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this kind of stroller. It is possible that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller, and that you need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins.
It is equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it is to ensure that it fits into your budget and lifestyle. Choose brands that are committed to sustainability and provide specific information on their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for your money. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events where you can talk to other parents about their experience and suggestions.
Storage
You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins so choose a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets or compartments to store your necessities. Make sure that the storage areas are easy to access with the seats in various positions too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). With the new design, you can put the cocoons with either a either way or backwards. It also has a convenient standing fold for easy storage between usages.
