3 Reasons Commonly Cited For Why Your Twin Pushchairs Isn't Working (And Solutions To Resolve It)
Buying a Twin Pushchair
When looking for a twin pushchair it's important to consider the various configurations that are available. Two options to consider are tandem double buggies and side-byside double buggies.
The iCandy Strawberry twin buggy is the most loved by parents and will grow with your family. It begins life as an individual, but can accommodate two car seats or carrycots in double mode.
Easy to maneuver
If you're taking twins for a stroll or have a baby and toddler at the same stage, a double pushchair is an essential tool in keeping them entertained. Double buggys or twin prams, as they are often referred to, are available in many different configurations that will fit any family. Some are side-by-side, while others have a front and other back for spaces that are narrow. Some can be transformed into single prams once your little ones outgrow them, making them a good option for growing families.
Side-by-side twin buggies (or tandem twin buggies) are easy to steer as their front wheels can be locked in place for additional stability, and there is usually more storage space behind them. They are also smaller than some other twin buggies, so they're easier to navigate through doorways and on public transport. They are generally lighter than other twin prams, so can be more compact too However, you may find them harder to get up and down kerbs on rough terrain.
The iCandy Peach, which comes in a range of colors, is a stylish twin pushchair that is available with a sleeker design. It's also a great twin pushchair for infants and newborns, because of its warm newborn cocoons that create an enclosed, flat space. It has a small basket however it has a remarkable suspension that allows it to be able to handle bumpy surfaces.
Many twin buggies are travel systems that have car seats that can attach to the frame. This is useful when travelling with babies and toddlers since you don't have to transfer them from their car to the pushchair. This can cause disturbance to them. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a twin-pushchair that can also be used as a travel system. It has a parent-facing mode that is ideal for infants.
Tandem twin buggies, on the other hand, are usually designed for children of similar age and are more likely to offer an individual seat for each child. They're less likely to include carrycots for babies, and are typically larger than single buggies. They're still easily maneuverable, but many have independent seat recline, so both kids can sit upright or lie in a snooze position.
Folding is simple
It is important for your double pushchair to fold easily if you're going to buy it. This will make it easier for you to transport the buggy from one location to another and also allow you to store it in a smaller space. The majority of brands offer a variety of different 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 help you to carry.
Most twin pushchairs can fold using just one hand, however it is worth checking before you buy that yours will be able to do this. Some of the top models can be folded with the seat removed, making them even more compact. This can be particularly helpful if you are short on storage space.
Another thing to watch out for is whether your twin pushchair will be able to fit through doors that are standard. The wide width of tandem buggies can be a problem, so it's worth measuring the width of your doors before you buy. There are slimmer models that can be used to fit through doors that are narrower in the event that this is a problem.
