17 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Avoid Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal option if you have two babies or children of a similar age. They offer two places for your little ones and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for both kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in which seat. It is also ideal for trips to places like the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, however they are also larger and longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best option for lightweight twin buggy babies in the beginning, because they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger that can be utilized in double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward steering wheel which means it can be used for off-road trails. It is a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight brings an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double pram buggy kit that is attached directly to the single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than many other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a range of car seats as well.

This compact, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban adventures due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It comes with 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. The model doesn't have an integrated recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining area for infants and newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat, making it an all terrain double buggy-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that lets you alter the configuration as your children get older. The frame starts as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models, however, they can be inserted through doors and are easier to navigate on the kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a wonderful example of this type. It can be configured in a variety of ways, including seats, car seat and carrycots. The Peach 7 from the iCandy brand is a great example of a double-buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways, by using car seats, chairs and carrycots. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever at the back of the seat unit also makes it easy for your child to lie on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with removable seats that can be set to face either way, which makes it ideal for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame are able to accommodate the third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair could have a significant impact on its efficiency. You should look for several options that will permit you to change the direction your child's seat is facing based on their mood, situation, or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinets that allow siblings to face each other, you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-by-side arrangement is a popular option for parents who are new. One child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transportation. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes with more than 20 different configurations so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family. it can even accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who wish to take their twins jogging or for more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double buggy side-by-side into a jogger with both children facing forwards. This lets you keep up with your running partner while keeping your children happy.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than single pushchairs due to additional features such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats Consider your lifestyle before deciding on this kind of stroller. You may also find that they're a bit more difficult to manoeuvre than a single double stroller pushchair and you might need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins from the elements.

Checking the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as ensuring that it's within your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money you can choose a brand that place a high priority on sustainability and provide thorough details on their manufacturing procedures. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events to talk to other parents about their experiences and suggestions.

Stores

Make sure that the storage areas are accessible with the seats in different positions as well. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry 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 infants using the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each).
