20 Up-And-Comers To Follow In The Twin Pushchair Industry

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies of the same age, a twin pushchair could be a great choice. They offer two places for your children and usually come with comfortable carrycots for infants and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with push handles that are easy to use and a GIANT storage basket. Accessories such as cups and snack trays for parents and children are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing both children to face each their respective faces. Some parents like this design because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which position. It's also a great alternative for places such as the zoo, where the children are able to be able to see each one another. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggys but they tend to be wider and can feel long when being pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair but can be expanded to fit 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 brand new buggy once your older child is no longer using it. However, it might not be the best choice for twins in the beginning as they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be utilized in double seat stroller or single mode and has two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can handle off road double buggy-road trails, too. It is a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight is added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment or with a nifty double kit that is attached to the existing single seat. It features a single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers we have tested. It also works with many car seats.

This slim, single to double stroller is perfect for urban adventures. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It has an UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view in the front seat for both children to enjoy the view. This model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat space for newborns and infants. It can also be used with a toddler seat to make it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair double is a versatile option that lets you alter the layout as your children get older. The frame starts as a single pushchair with adaptors attached to it to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, or even a car seat. These types are generally bigger than typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat in tandem which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great example of this kind of. It can be configured with 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. Our team was impressed by how slim and lightweight it is for a two-seater as well as offering a spacious and comfortable ride for children. The simple and easy one-handed reclining lever on the back of the seat unit also makes it easy for your child to lay down flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It has removable seats that can be placed to face forwards or backwards, making it ideal for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame could accommodate an additional child.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair could significantly affect its efficiency. You should consider various options that permit you to change the direction in which your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, situation, or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seat and bassinets that allow siblings to be facing each other, you, or the exciting road ahead. The frame expands to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

A popular option for new parents is a side-by-side configuration, in which one child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view and generally narrower 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 to choose the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to turn this side-byside double buggy, designed for twins, into an running jogger. Both kids will be facing towards the forward direction. This allows you to keep up with your running partner and keeps the kids happy while they play.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier due to the additional features like larger baskets and more padding for the seats. It is also possible that they're a little harder to manoeuvre than a single pushchair and you may need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to shield your twins from the elements.

It is equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair as it is to make sure it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for money. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can help you gain valuable information about the best twin pushchairs.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot of stuff. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments and pockets to store your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and a baby and also include a 'PiggyBack' table for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can attach the cocoons either facing either direction, or reverse. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it easy to store between uses.
