Why Is Twin Pram So Popular?
What to Look For in a Twin Pram

If you're expecting twins, or have two children who are similar in age, you'll need a quality twin pram to help you navigate life on the move. We've got the best choices right here!

Choose between tandem inline and side-by-side configurations. Some twin prams are also available as travel systems with car capsules.

Comfort

If you have twins, a double pram is essential to transport two kids with peace and comfort. What to look for in a double stroller can be a challenge as there are many different options available, from price points to designs and features.

It doesn't matter if you have a tandem double or a twin side-byside pram, what is important is that your child is in a comfortable and happy. Make sure the fabric of the seat and back support are comfortable and robust. Also, make sure they have enough headroom.

The ease of pushing the pram is important. You do not want to be fumbling with a heavy double buggy, particularly in the beginning when you'll be frequently out and about.

A good idea is to look for a twin pram that has a one-click fold, so you can compact it when not in use. It's also worth looking for a pram that has front and rear suspensions which will aid you in getting over bumps easier.

First-time parents often choose to future-proof the pram they buy by selecting a model that is both twin and a single pram. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a good example. It can be set up to accommodate a pair of seats, a pair of bassinets for prams or even three kids with the addition of a 'piggyback board' (available separately).

If you're considering a twin pram, you should consider checking whether it comes in a travel system bundle. This makes it easier to buy all the items you require in one purchase and could save you money in the long run. If you do decide on a travel system, ensure that it has things like a sun canopy or rain cover to shield your kids from the elements. You might also want to consider adding on extras like cup holders and snack trays for your children. If you have more kids you'll require more food and drinks!

Safety

A twin pram is an absolute necessity for families with two young children who are close to the same age and it's crucial to choose one that is suitable for your needs. If you're thinking of buying a side by side twin pram or a tandem double pram there is an excellent choice of models available with different prices and features.

Many people prefer a twin side-by-side pram because it allows you to customize the bassinets or seats to meet the needs of your family. For example, you may prefer your twins to be able to sit independently or face each to each other and look out into the world around them. You may also prefer them to lie flat in their bassinets for prams (which is the ideal position for infants to help in their development of their spines and decrease the risk of SUID (also known as SIDS).

Tandem double prams are an option and allow you to put your children in one seat and your toddler in the second. This configuration is useful for children of a certain age who no longer need to be carried, and who are able to walk.

Make sure that your twin pram is compliant with Australian standards. It is important that the foot brake is clearly marked in red, and is connected to both the hand brake and foot brake to avoid accidental use. The brakes should be simple to use and operate by one or both of you, even when your hands full.

Consider how much space your twin pram will occupy when folded, and if it will fit into your car boot. Some twin prams are quite long when folded. This can create problems in tight spaces, on busy footpaths and public transport.

Think about purchasing a travel package that lets you combine your stroller of choice with car seats for babies. It is easy to move your twins from the car to the pushchair without disturbing them. The UPPAbaby Vista twin pram is a great option for this. It comes with everything you need to begin with carrycots that are suitable from birth, mesa i-size car seats and mesa I-fix bases.

Easy of Use

A twin pram could offer parents some of the ease-of-use advantages of single prams. Most models have a wide array of features designed to keep your little ones happy and comfortable. Features like a big canopy, peek-aboo hoods and recliners can ensure that your children are safe from the elements and sun. Some models have large under-seat storage baskets so you can store all your family's items.

The way a twin pram folds is another important factor. It should be an easy and quick mechanism that makes it easy to take the buggy away after you've finished using it. This is particularly useful when you're running late or running an excursion while your twins are with you.

Some double prams feature air-filled, large tyres. They are designed to ease the pressure on your child's spine as well as hips and improve their maneuverability. These tyres also work well on uneven terrain, making the tandem pram a great option for long hikes or walks with your little ones.

A good twin pram will have handlebars that can be adjusted to accommodate all heights. This feature is very beneficial especially for older kids who are used to using strollers that do not adjust as they get older.

A twin side by side pram can be a great choice for siblings who are similar in age, as it allows them to interact each other and play when they're out and about. On the other side, a tandem pram is ideal for children of different in age as it is able to accommodate a variety of seating options, including two infant car seat carriers toddler seats or baby carry cots.

Many parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof their pram by buying a model which can be transformed from a single to a twin. The Graco Duo Glider, for example, is a lightweight twin pram that fits any Graco car seat making it a versatile option for families growing.

Style

When shopping for twin prams, it's important to consider the style that is most suitable for your family. It is possible to purchase a twin pram that is side-by-side if your children are close in age or a tandem stroller where the larger child is placed on top of the smaller one.


You should also consider how much space you want in the basket, and whether you need storage spaces like seat-back pockets or handlebar bags. Some double buggies come with extra accessories to simplify life with twins. These include hoods which protect the seats from the rain or sun, as well as foot covers which make the seat fabric cleaner.

A good option for first-time parents is a reversible twin pram, like the DUO2 from Bugaboo that can be used as an individual buggy until your second child is born or you can transform it into an inline double pram and use it straight away. Its large canopy provides excellent protection from sun and wind, and its peek-aboo hoods allow you to check on your child without disrupting them. The under-seat storage basket is large and ideal to store nappy bags and other baby items.

car seat pram is also a versatile model. It can be used in mono mode, with the older child sitting behind the younger one or as a side-by-side twin buggy, and it can hold up to 29 combinations of toddler seats, carry cots and baby car seats. It comes with a stylish frame that expands widthways to allow for an additional seat, and its clever suspension is great for bumpy surfaces. The UPPAbaby PiggyBack board can be incorporated into the buggy to create triple buggy.

If you're planning to take your twins out for running or a stroll, a twin pram that is designed specifically for jogging is the best option. It is more maneuverable and its large tires can handle any terrain. It is recommended to test the pushability of the twin jogging stroller before purchasing it. Also look for models with a basket that can be opened at various angles.
