Twin Pushchair The Process Isn't As Hard As You Think
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 good option. They offer two places for your children and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for infants and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cups and snack trays for both kids and parents are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face each their respective faces. Some parents like this design since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which position. It is also ideal when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggys but they tend to be wider and can feel long when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair and can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. It might not be the best choice for twins in the early months, as they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

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 a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres so it can cope with off-road trails as well. It is heavier than other models however it offers durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. It has a single swivel wheel on the front and an all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers we've tested. It's also compatible with a wide range of car seats.

This narrow, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban excursions with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It has UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade. It also has a window that peeks out from the front seat so that both children can take in the view. This model doesn't have an integrated recline, but it can be paired with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat space for infants and newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat, making it a three-seater.

Convertible


A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that allows you to change the configuration as your kids develop. The frame begins as a single pushchair with adaptors that can be attached to allow for the addition of a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These types are generally wider than a regular buggy, but they can be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable between kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a wonderful example of this kind of. It can be configured in 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. Our team was impressed by how light and slim it is for a double-seater, as well as offering a spacious and comfortable ride for kids. The simple and easy one-handed reclining lever at the back of the unit makes it easy for your child to lay on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another example of a convertible twin stroller with seats that can be removed and can be set up to face forward or reverse which makes it suitable for twins of all different ages. It also accommodates another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board, which attaches to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have an impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. You should consider several options that will permit you to change the direction your child's seat is facing based on their mood, circumstances or even as they develop. Pushchairs And Prams is an example of a product which is extremely versatile. It has a reversible seat and bassinet configurations which allow siblings to face each other, you or on a brand new adventure. The innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the extra seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories for both types of configuration.

A common choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement, which means that one child is seated 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 more than 20 options, so you can select the best set-up for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins jogging or to go on more adventurous excursions with the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double buggy side-by-side into a jogger with both children facing forwards. This allows you to keep up with your running companion while keeping your kids entertained.

In general twin pushchairs can be a little heavier than their single counterparts because they come with additional features such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before deciding on this type of stroller. It is also possible that they're a little harder to manoeuvre than a single pushchair and you may need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to shield your twins from the elements.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring it's within your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value you can choose a brand that put a premium on sustainability and provide detailed information about their production procedures. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can give you valuable insight on the best twin pushchairs.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot of stuff. Look for a car with a large undercarriage basket and plenty of pockets and compartments for your necessities. Make sure the storage areas are accessible with the seats in different positions too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and a baby as well as add a 'PiggyBack' board for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can put the cocoons with either a either direction, or reverse. It also has a convenient standing fold for easy storage between use.
