What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect option if you have two children or kids who are similar in age. They offer two places for your little ones and are typically equipped with a comfortable carrycot for newborns as well as compatibility with car seats 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 cups holders and a tray for snacks for kids and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face one another. This is the preferred choice of parents who believe it less likely to cause sibling squabbles over who sits where. It is also a good option when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, however they also tend to be larger and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won’t have to purchase a new buggy after your older child is outgrowing it. It might not be the most suitable option for twins in the early months, as they’ll need to be of a similar weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in a double stroller with infant car seat or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres so it can cope with off-road trails too. It is heavier than other alternatives, but it has added durability.

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

This compact, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban excursions due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has a UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat for both children to take in the view. This model does not have an integrated recline, but 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 used with the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible Twin pushchair (posteezy.Com) is a flexible option, allowing you to change the design of your pushchair as your children get older. The frame is initially an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors attached to it to allow for the addition of a second chair such as a carrycot or car seat. These models are typically wider than a typical buggy, but are able to fit through doorways and are more maneuverable up and down 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 umbrella stroller buggy is a fantastic illustration of this type. It can be configured in a variety of ways, including seats, car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from iCandy is an excellent model of a double buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways, with car seats, seat and carrycots. In addition, the smart and easy recline lever that is one-handed on the back of the unit makes it simple to get your child in an upright position.

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

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could significantly affect its efficiency. It is important to look for several options that permit you to change the direction your child’s seat is facing based on their mood, the situation, or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seats and bassinets that allow siblings to be facing each other and you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is able to be used in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-by-side arrangement is a favorite choice for new parents. One child is seated behind the other. This kind of twin buggy gives both children the same view. It is generally more compact double buggy than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance, offers over 20 configurations which means you can pick the best set-up for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who wish to take their twins for a jog or for more adventurous adventures, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy an jogger that has both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep up with your running partner, while keeping your kids entertained.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they have extra features such as larger baskets and more padded seats. It is also possible that they’re more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair, and you may need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

It’s equally important to assess the quality of a double pushchair, as it is to ensure that it’s in line with your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and offer specific information on their manufacturing processes to ensure that you’re getting the most value for your money. You can also gain valuable insight into the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or attending local events where you can talk to other parents about their experience and suggestions.

Storage

If you have twins, you’ll need to carry a lot. Look for a car equipped with a huge undercarriage basket as well as numerous compartments and pockets to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even if the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has space for a ‘PiggyBack’ table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the cocoons included (PS59 each), while the altered design lets you attach them facing either way. It also has a handy standing fold for easy storage between uses.
