Which Twin Pushchairs Are Right For Your Family?

If you have twins or your children are similar in age, a double pushchair can assist you in getting them from one place to the other safely and effortlessly. Some models, such as the iCandy Wave start out as single buggies, but can be converted to double buggies as your family expands.

Side-by-side buggies

If you plan to use a twin pushchair for two children of similar age and require a side by side model is the best option. These models are also referred to as tandem pushchairs or duo buggys. They come with a variety of seating arrangements, so you can easily change from one child to another, depending on the age and requirements of each child. These models are perfect for twins and siblings who are close in age. They can also sit close to one another instead of facing eachother, making them feel more connected.

Side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer than you might think so they’re an ideal choice for those who don’t want their new double stroller to be too bulky or impractical. Look out for a stylish but manageable design that is easily moved and folded away and provide plenty of storage space for all your belongings. A good-sized shopping basket is also a must, and you’ll want to ensure the seats offer recline positions and all the features you need to keep your children comfortable, such as canopies, footrests and headrests.

Be sure to check the weight of the double buggy, especially when you have a toddler or baby and a car seat or carrycot. It’s important to note that many dual buggies come in either side-by-side or tandem modes, so it’s important to determine which one is suitable for your family before you purchase.

The Egg2 twin pushchair twin is a popular choice for parents due to its sleek design and versatility. It can be used either as a tandem, or an individual and comes with options for the rear and front seats, as well as the carrycot that can be laid flat and an infant seat. This allows you to effortlessly transition from child to adult. It’s lightweight and user-friendly, plus it has an extensive colour selection so you can find the perfect style for your children. Unlike many other brands, it has parents and children with trays to store snacks and drinks which is ideal for keeping your children occupied.

Tandem buggies

A tandem pushchair is a fantastic option if you are expecting twins or have two children with similar ages. A tandem is less bulky than double prams or twin buggies that have the children sitting side by side. This makes it easier to maneuver and navigate narrow streets such as supermarket aisles, and public transport. It also means it will take less space in your car’s boot.

A tandem buggy that is of good quality will be safe and comfortable for your children. Be sure to choose a sturdy chassis, safety harnesses that can be adjusted to fit your child’s needs and plenty of padding in both seats. The best models have reclining positions so that they can sit up or lay down, depending on their preference. They also have a protective canopy which can be extended to protect the front seat.

Another key feature to be aware of is whether the buggy folds with the seats attached. Some can be folded with the second seat removed, which could help to keep it smaller when you’re in a tight space for storage. You’ll also find some have straps for the shoulders that are easy to grab when you’re in a hurry.

The Joolz Geo 3 is a fantastic option. It can be used as a single or double stroller, and it converts into an infant seat and a carrycot for infants, as well as a child’s carrier board for older siblings. The toddler can sit in front of the parent, making the ride more exciting. While the older sibling can enjoy the view at the rear. It’s a versatile, stylish twin pushchair double that’s well-suited to urban living and can be able to handle rough terrain so it will grow with your family.

Cybex is another brand known for its innovation, has a Jupiter model that is sleek and lightweight. It can be used as a single or a double buggy, and can accommodate infants in a separate cocoon and a toddler with a reversible chair. This allows your baby to ride in a comfortable and safe environment while your older sibling can take in the sights.

Single-to-double buggies

If you’re a parent of twins and looking for a twin pushchair that can expand with your family, you can go for a single-to-double pushchair. These models have a movable frame that lets you add a second seat or carrycot. They’re typically smaller than side-byside twin buggy models, making them easier to navigate through doors and on public transportation. They might be less robust in rough terrain, and they can take up more space in the car’s boot than twin models.

This kind of design is best illustrated by the popular egg2 single-to-double pushchair. It is sleek as a single, but it comes with a variety of configurations as a double. This includes both infant seats and carrycots. This model does not allow siblings to sit next to the parent. If you want your children to be close and have plenty of time to communicate when they are on the move the larger tandem model is the best choice.

You can also purchase single-to-double buggies that include a travel system and are able to accommodate one or two car seats. These kinds of buggies are ideal if you plan to use your car seat and you don’t want to swap them out and back in whenever you need to. These models are also great for those who don’t know how long you’ll require a pushchair for twins and you want to be able to extend your investment by adding an infant seat.

A couple of brands have resisted the trend with side-byside single-to-double buggies. They include the Bugaboo Donkey and the Leclerc Influencer. The former is a sleek, functional design which enables you to add an additional seat or carrycot without the need for tools and it folds flat to make it easy to store. It’s also a slim model that can be suited to smaller shops and fits into the narrowest of entranceways. The latter is a neat unit that expands with just one click, and can be fitted with another seat, or carrycot within less than a minute. It is a little longer than other models and may not be suitable for narrow passageways.

Carrycots

A carrycot is a wonderful spot for your infant to rest and nap while you’re out and out and about. Carrycots aren’t just warm and comfortable, they also feature tall sidewalls to protect your baby’s delicate skin from wind, rain and sun. Some of the best twin strollers come with an infant carrycot inside their bundle.

In contrast to Moses baskets which are intended to be used indoors, most carrycots can be used outdoors. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s guidelines before taking your child out for an outing. Be aware that your child will outgrow the stroller at some point, so pick one with a weight limit of 9kg or more.

If you’re looking for a twin stroller that comes with a carrycot, ensure that you select a model that is in line with European standards for flammability and airflow. It should be light with a small footprint to make it easy to carry around in your car. Also, think about getting one with a large under-seat storage basket that can accommodate up to 22 pounds of gear. This will allow you to have enough space to store all the baby’s necessities such as a changing mat and bags for shopping.

The iCandy Peach is a good choice for parents looking for a stylish and practical double pushchair that comes with a high-quality carrycot. The latest generation of this model has an upgraded carrycot that’s suitable for sleeping in the night. It’s also simple to fold, and is available in a variety of colors.

In addition to the top-quality fabrics, Cher said that she loved the iCandy’s simple one-handed fold. She also praised the soft padding and a footmuff lined with fleece on the carrycot, which keep her baby warm. She also appreciated that the iCandy can accommodate a toddler’s seat in the base, which makes it perfect for families who are planning to travel together for years to come.

If your baby is crying in their carrycot, it’s because they’re desperate to get up. They may also be frustrated because they can’t see their parents or their surroundings. If this is the case, you should convert the pushchair as soon as you can to the stroller.
