17 Reasons Why You Should Not Ignore Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies that are the same age, a twin pushchair could be a great choice. They provide two spaces for your children and are usually equipped with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Find models with easy-to-use push handles and an GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cups holders and a tray for snacks for parents and kids are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing both children to face one other. This is the preferred style of some parents who find it less likely to trigger sibling fights over who sits where. It's also a good option for places such as the Zoo, where both children can easily be able to see each other. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies. However, they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair and can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins who are in their early months, as they'll have to be the same weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger which can be used in a double or single mode and has two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can cope with off-road trails, too. It is a little heavier than other models but the extra weight is an increased durability.

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

This narrow stroller that converts from a single to a double is perfect for urban excursions. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It comes with UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat, so both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have a built in recline however, it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for infants and newborns. It can also be equipped with a toddler's seat, making it an all terrain double stroller-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to alter the layout as your kids get older. The frame begins as one pushchair but has adaptors to allow for the addition of a second chair or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models tend to be wider than a standard buggy but can often be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable up and down kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers side-by-side which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great example of this type. 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 and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for children. Additionally, the clever and simple recline lever that is one-handed on the back of the unit makes it easy to help your child get into a lie-flat position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be positioned to face either direction, or reverse, making it ideal for twins of any age. It also can accommodate a third child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have an impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for a variety of options that permit you to change the direction that your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, situation or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another, you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate the extra seat and can be used in Mono or double stroller mode with a variety of accessories that 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 type of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view and is typically narrower than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to navigate in the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations, so you can choose the perfect set-up for your family. it can even accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, specifically designed for twins, into an running jogger. Both kids will be facing forward. This lets you keep pace with your running partner, while keeping your children happy.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they have additional features like larger baskets and extra cushioned seats. You may also find they weigh a bit more than a single double stroller stroller and you'll need to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins.

It is equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair, as it is to make sure it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. Choose brands that are committed to sustainability and provide detailed 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 best travel double stroller twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events where you can talk to other parents about their experiences and suggestions.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage basket and plenty of pockets and compartments to store your essentials. Make sure that the storage areas are accessible with the seats in various positions as well. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two infants in the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each) and the modified design allows you to attach them facing either way. It features a handy standing fold that makes it easy to put away between use.
