The Next Big Thing In Twin Pushchair

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 choice. They offer two places for your infants and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack trays for both kids and parents are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which seat. It is also a good alternative for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to be able to see each their fellow. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies. However, they also tend to be larger and longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair and can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This can be an affordable option for families that are expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means you won't need to buy a new buggy when your older child outgrows it. However, it may not be a good option for twin babies in the beginning, since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy and can accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward steering wheel which means it can be used on trails that are off-road. It is a bit heavier than other models however the extra weight brings an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger is a great choice for either the main compartment or with a nifty sit n stand double stroller kit that attaches to the existing single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.

This compact stroller that converts from a single to a double is perfect for urban excursions. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It has UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view from the front seat so that both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't have recline built-in however, it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants or newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat making it a three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers a flexible option, allowing you to adapt the layout of your pushchair as your children grow. It is initially a single pram with adaptors that attach to the frame for a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be bigger than typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are much easier to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers side-by-side which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double stroller with infant car seat buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations, including carrycots, and car seats. Our test team loved how light and slim it is for a double-seater, while also offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for children. In addition, the smart and intuitive one-handed recline lever located on the back of the unit makes it easy to get your child into an upright position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It has removable seats that can be positioned to face forwards or backwards, making it ideal for twins of any age. It can also accommodate another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have an impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. Consider a variety of seating options so that you can change the direction of your child's seats based on their mood or the situation and continue to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that's extremely adaptable. It comes with a reversible seats and bassinets, which allows siblings to face each other, one another or on a brand new adventure. The frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-by-side configuration is a popular option for new parents. One child is seated behind the other. This type of twin pushchair has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It is generally more compact than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through public spaces and through doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, has over 20 different configurations so that you can choose the best compact double stroller configuration for your family. it can even take two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

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

In general twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than their single counterparts because they have additional features such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before choosing this type of stroller. It is possible that they weigh a bit more than a single Stroller Double and you'll need purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to safeguard your twins.
