Buying a Twin Pushchair
It's important to consider the various configurations when shopping for a double pushchair. Two options to consider are tandem double buggies and side-by-side double buggies.
The iCandy Strawberry Twin buggy is a favorite among parents and will grow with your family. It begins life as one, but it can accommodate two carrycots or car seats in double mode.
Easy to maneuver
A double pushchair can be lifesaving for families with twins, or a baby and toddler. Double buggys, or twin prams, as they are sometimes called, come in a variety of designs to suit all types of families. pushchair stroller are side-by-side, while others have one front and the other back for narrow spaces. Some can be converted to single prams after your children are old enough to use them. This makes them a great option for families that are growing.
They are less difficult to steer than tandem twin buggies, as the front wheels can be locked to provide additional stability. They also have more storage space behind them. They are also more compact than other twin buggies, so they're easier to navigate through doorways and on public transport. They are generally lighter than other twin prams and they are more mobile too, although you might be unable to maneuver them to and from kerbs, or on rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach, which comes in a variety of colours and styles, is a chic twin pushchair that is available with a more sleek design. It's also a great twin stroller for newborns and babies due to the soft newborn cocoons that make a comfortable, flat-floored space. It comes with a small basket and has an impressive suspension to handle bumpy surfaces.
Many twin buggies are travel systems that include car seats that attach to the frame. This can be beneficial for travelling with young babies and toddlers, as it means that you don't need to move them from the car to the pushchair, which could disturb them. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an example of a twin pushchair that can be used as a travel device, and it comes with a handy mode that allows parents to be in the same room with their babies.
Tandem twin buggies were designed for children with similar ages. They are more likely to have an individual seat for each child. They are less likely to include carrycots for babies younger than six months old and tend to be wider than single buggies. They are still easily maneuverable, however many come with an recline that is independent, meaning both children can sit upright or lie in a snooze position.
Folding is simple
You'll want your double pushchair to fold easily should you decide to purchase it. This will allow you to move the stroller from one location to another, and will allow you to store it in a smaller space. Most brands offer a number of ways to fold the pushchair so you'll be able to choose one that best suits your requirements. Some include a convenient shoulder strap to make it easier for you to carry.
Check before you buy if the item you purchase can fold with one hand. Some of the most popular models are able to fold with the seat taken out, making them even smaller. This is especially useful if you are short on storage space.
Another thing to look out for is whether your twin pushchair is capable of fitting through standard doorways. The wide width of tandem buggies may be a problem, so it's worth measuring the width of your doors before you buy. There are smaller models that can be used to fit through narrower doorways in the event that this is a problem.
In our tests, the UPPAbaby Vista was a winner for being easy to fold and compact when not in use. It can hold two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats. This makes it a great option for families growing. It also comes with a large storage basket, as well as rubber tires with foam that won't go flat.
It's less expensive than other models that we evaluated and is a great choice for twins or babies with similar age ranges. It can be used as a cosy seat unit and a carrycot, and can hold three children by the addition of UPPAbaby's PiggyBack Board (sold separately).
If you're looking for a low-cost double stroller, take a look at the Chicco Cortina Together. It can accommodate two Chicco infant car seats, making it suitable for twins starting at birth. It comes with a large storage basket, a simple to use handlebar, and brakes.
Easy to store
The good news is that not all double buggies are big, bulky and difficult to keep in storage. There are a variety of models that are designed to ensure they are small and manageable. This lets them be compact and make it easier to get in and out of a vehicle.
Some twin pushchairs are lightweight which makes them easy to transport and use with trains, buses, and shopping aisles. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 comes to mind, with its lightweight frame that can handle rough terrain and four-wheel suspension. It can also be used to carry twins (or one baby and a toddler) by adding the 'piggyback' board.
It is worth checking whether the storage space is accessible when the seats are both in use. Some side-by-side configurations can be a challenge and the 'one above, one below' style of tandem may hinder access due to child's legs. Look for large compartments, baskets, and pockets that can hold everything from snacks and toys to sun cream and rain covers.
Consider the add-ons that are available. Some twin pushchairs have various useful features including drink holders for your little ones, or snack trays for the older children. It's a good idea to look for a model that has these features, as well as a sun canopy built-in or rain cover, as well as a the hood to keep your little children safe.
Many twin pushchairs are convertible into a travel system that can accommodate families that are growing. They come with the option of adding a car seat, buggy seat, or carrycot. This can be particularly useful for newborns and toddlers, as it ensures that they're safe, comfortable and ready for any adventure. The egg2 is a popular choice here, with its sleek design and flexibility, though it can be a bit heavier than other egg models.
If you're on an extremely tight budget, there are still some excellent options that cost less than PS200. The iCandy Pegasus 2 with its large basket and easy access storage in all seating positions is a fantastic alternative. It also comes with a cushioned leg support as well as a rain cover.
Easy to transport
If you are planning to use your twin buggy on long-distance family excursions and city excursions, you should look into a model which can be folded down to fit into the trunk or in the boot of the rental car. A slim, manageable design is also helpful for navigating narrow doors and aisles in public transportation.
There are buggy models that can be folded with the seats removed for more compact storage. They are ideal for use at home. You should also consider the weight of the double buggy. The heavier buggies are difficult to maneuver and could have trouble getting up or down kerbs.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate up to two carrycots (and sometimes even the third) and are designed to be used in a side-by-side arrangement. Some can also be used for single children of a similar age or with siblings who have only a small age gap. The fantastic Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo is an excellent example of this, with seats that can be reversible, letting the children sit facing each other or you, as well as a range of other designs suitable for children from the time of birth until toddlerhood.
A twin pushchair can be an ideal option for families living near public transport routes as it's generally easier to hop on and off trains, buses or trams. It's also good for busy cities or towns where you'll have to navigate a lot of people, streets or shopping centres.
If you are looking for a twin-pushchair that will allow you to effortlessly get on and off public transport, we recommend a model like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 – a sleek elegant city buggy that can be used by two newborns using the newborn cocoons provided or for one baby and a child older than the baby by using its clever'sidepack'. (available separately for PS45). The second seat is attached to the frame at the back and can be used in any direction. You can even add piggyback boards (also available separately for the price of PS120) to take three kids for longer excursions.
