Twin Pushchair: 11 Thing You're Not Doing

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great choice if you have two children or kids of a similar age. They have two places to transport your little ones and typically come with comfortable carrycots or seats for newborns, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.


Be sure to look for models that have easy-to-use push handles and an GIANT storage basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack trays for both kids and parents are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing both children to face one their respective faces. This is the preferred choice for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over which side to sit in. It's also a great option for places like the zoo, where the children are able to easily be able to see each one another. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies. However, they also tend to be wider and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You don't need to buy 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 the same age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be utilized in double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel, so it can also be used on trails that are off-road. It's a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight brings 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. With the single swivel wheel on the front 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.

It comes with an UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade. It also has a peekaboo window in the front seat so both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have a built in recline, but it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants and newborns. It can also be equipped with a toddler seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that lets you change the configuration as your children grow. The frame begins as an individual pushchair, but it 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 regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver between kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers side by side which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations that include car seats and carrycots. The iCandy Peach 7 is a great example of a double-buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways with car seats, seat and carrycots.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It has removable seats that can be positioned to face forwards or backwards, making it suitable for twins of any age. It can also accommodate an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have a major impact on the functionality of your twin pushchair. Consider a variety of seating options so that you can change the direction of your child's seats based on their mood or situation and continue to use the same ones as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely versatile. It has reversible bassinet and seat configurations, that allow siblings to be facing each other, you or on a brand new adventure. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the additional seat. It can be used in either Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories that are available to suit both configurations.

The side-byside configuration is a favorite choice for new parents. One child is seated behind the second. This type of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view and is generally more compact than one pushchair, making it easier to navigate in the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair, for instance, has over 20 different configurations so you can choose the perfect set-up for your family. it can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, specifically designed for twins, into a running jogger. Both kids will face towards the front. This allows you to keep pace with your running partner and keep the kids happy as they explore.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they come with extra features such as larger baskets and more cushioned seats. You may also find they are a bit heavier than a single stroller and that you need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to safeguard your twins.

It's equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair as it is to ensure that it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value, look for brands who place a high priority on sustainability and provide thorough details about their manufacturing methods. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events to talk to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot. Find a car with a large undercarriage storage basket and 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 is able to accommodate twins or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Because of the new design, you can attach the cocoons facing forward or backward. It features a handy standing fold that makes it easy to store between uses.
