What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal choice if you have two children or kids of a similar age. They provide two spaces for your infants and usually come with a comfortable carrycot for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Find models that have easy-to-use push handles and a GIANT storage basket. Add-ons such as cups and a snack tray for children and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows the children to look at each their respective faces. Some parents like this design since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over the seat they prefer. It is also a good option for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to easily view each other. Tandems can be larger than single buggy however they are generally larger and may feel longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families with more than one child and it means that you don't have to purchase an entirely new buggy once your older child is outgrowing it. It may not be the best option for twins in the beginning stages, since they'll need to be the same weight and age.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a cheap double buggy or single buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward wheel, so it can also be used on off-road trails. It is a bit heavier than other models however the extra weight is added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double stroller with infant car seat Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment, or with an innovative double kit that is attached directly to the single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than many other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats as well.

This narrow stroller that converts from a single to a double is ideal for urban adventures. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It features UPF50and sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view in the front seat for both children to take in the view. The model doesn't come with an integrated recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat space for infants and newborns. It can also accommodate an infant seat, making it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that allows you to alter the layout as your children develop. It starts out as one pram but has adaptors that attach to the frame to add a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models, however, they are able to fit through doors and are much easier to move around kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations that include car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from iCandy is a great example of a small double buggy-buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways by using car seats, chairs and carrycots. Additionally, the clever and easy recline lever with one hand located on the back of the unit makes it simple to get your child in a lie-flat position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another example of convertible twin strollers for newborns strollers that has removable seats and can be configured to face forward or backward, making it suitable for twins of all ages. 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 of your twin pushchair may have a significant impact on its performance. You should consider various options that allow you to alter the direction in which your child's seat is facing based on their mood, circumstances or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seat and bassinets that allow siblings to face one another, 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 range of accessories available to suit both configurations.

The side-by-side configuration is a favorite choice for parents who are just starting out. One child is seated behind the other. This type of twin pushchair gives both children the same view and is typically narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance has more than 20 different configurations, so you can select the best configuration for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy travel system buggy, which is made for twins, to a Jogger. Both kids will face towards the forward direction. This lets you keep pace with your running companion and keeps your kids entertained as they explore.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier due to the extra features such as larger baskets and extra padded seats. You might also discover that they're more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you might need to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins from the elements.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is as important as ensuring it is within your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and offer specific information on their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for your money. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can help you gain valuable insight on the best twin pushchairs.

Storage

You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins, so make sure you have a large undercarriage basket with plenty of pockets or compartments to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons included (PS59 each). Thanks to the new design, it is possible to attach the cocoons with either a either direction, or reverse. It also comes with a handy standing fold for easy storage between uses.
