What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect choice if you have two kids or children who are similar in age. They provide two places for your infants to travel and are usually equipped with cosy carrycots or seats for newborns, and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack trays for parents and children are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face one another. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets which position. It's also a good alternative for places such as the zoo, where both children can easily be able to see each one another. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, but they also are more spacious and longer when they are they are pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it may not be the best option for twin babies in the beginning because they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in single or double mode and has two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward wheel which means it can be used for off-road trails. It is heavier than other options but it also has durability.

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

This compact, single to double stroller is perfect for urban adventures. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It features UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide shade, and a window that peeks out from the front seat so that both children can enjoy the view. This model does not come with an integrated recline however, it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for newborns or infants. It can also be fitted with a toddler seat making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that lets you alter the layout as your kids develop. The frame begins as one pushchair but has adaptors to accommodate a second seat such as a carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be larger than the typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are much easier to maneuver between kerbs. They also allow you to use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots side by side double stroller-byside, which works well for siblings of varying age.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a wonderful illustration of this type. It can be set up with 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from iCandy is a fantastic example of a double buggy that can be set up in 25 different ways by using car seats, chairs and carrycots. The simple and easy one-handed reclining mechanism on the rear of the seat unit also makes it simple for your child to lie down flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with removable seats that can be positioned to face either way, which makes it ideal for twins of any age. It also accommodates an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can significantly affect its functionality. Look out for multiple options so that you can alter the direction your children's seats based on their mood or the situation and also continue to use the same ones as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinets that allow siblings to face one another either with you or the exciting path ahead. The innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories for both types of configuration.

A popular choice of configuration for parents who are new is the side-by-side arrangement where one child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy is narrower than a standard pushchair, and can be pushed through doors and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example has more than 20 different configurations to choose the best set-up for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to turn this side-byside double buggy, which is designed for twins, into a jogger. Both kids will face forward. This allows you to keep pace with your running partner and keeps the kids happy as they explore.

In general twin pushchairs tend to be a bit 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 you choose this kind of stroller. You might also notice that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller, and you'll need buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to safeguard your twins.

It is equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair, as it's to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and provide specific information on their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for your money. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events where you can talk to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.
