17 Reasons Not To Beware Of Twin Pushchair
What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
If you have two kids or babies that are similar age, a twin pushchair could be a great option. They offer two spaces to transport your little ones and typically come with comfy carrycots or chairs for infants, 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. Add-ons such as cup holders and 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 other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which seat. It is also a good option for trips to places like the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandems can be larger than single buggy however they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when being pushed.
Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair and can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families expecting more than one child, and it means that you won't have to buy a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best choice for twin babies in the early months because they'll need to be similar in age and weight.
Another type of twin buggy is the jogger that can be utilized in double or single mode and can accommodate two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off-road trails, too. It is heavier than other alternatives, but it has added durability.
The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with an innovative double kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. It features one swivel wheel at the front and an all-wheel suspension, which makes it more stable than other joggers that we have tested. It is also compatible with many car seats.
This narrow, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban adventures due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has UPF50and sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view from the front seat for both children to enjoy the view. This model does not have a built in recline however it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for infants and newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler's seat, making it three-seater.
Convertible
A convertible twin pushchair is the flexibility to allow you to adapt the layout of your pushchair as your children grow. It is initially an individual pram, but it has adaptors that attach to the frame for a second seat, 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 more maneuverable up and down kerbs. They also allow you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots side-byside which is great for siblings of various ages.
The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations, including carrycots and car seats. Our team was impressed by how slim and lightweight it is for a two-seater as well as offering a spacious, sturdy and comfortable ride for children. The simple and easy one-handed reclining lever at the rear 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 forwards or backwards, making it suitable for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame are able to accommodate a third child.
Multiple configurations
The seating arrangement can have a an impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for various options that will allow you to alter 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 bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face each other and you, or the exciting route ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.
The side-by-side arrangement is a popular option for parents who are new. One child is seated behind the second. This kind of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair and can be pushed through doors and on public transportation. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair, for instance, has over 20 different configurations so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family. it can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.
If you want to take their twins on jogging or go on more adventurous adventures, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into an jogger that has both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep up with your running companion while keeping your kids entertained.
Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they come with additional features like bigger baskets and cushioned seats. You might also notice that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller, and you'll need purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers in order to protect your twins.
It's equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it's to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and offer detailed information on their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the best value for money.

Storage
You'll have to carry a lot of things for twins, so choose a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments or pockets to store your essentials. Make sure that the storage spaces are easy to access with the seats positioned in different positions, too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins as well as a baby and toddler. lightweight twin stroller has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children.
