10 Best Facebook Pages That I ve Ever Seen. Twin Pushchair
What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
If you have two kids or babies of similar age, a twin pushchair will be a good option. They offer two spaces to transport your little ones and are usually equipped with cosy carrycots or seats for infants and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.
Be sure to look for models with easy-to-use push handles and a GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for kids and parents are also helpful.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin stroller pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred style for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling fights over who is sitting where. It's also a good option for places such as the zoo, where both children are able to easily view each one another. Tandem buggies can be larger than single and double stroller buggies, but they are also larger and longer when they are pushed.
Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by putting in 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 has outgrown it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins in their early years, as they'll have to be of the same weight and age.
Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in a double or single mode and can accommodate 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 options but it also has durability.
The Phil & Ted Sport double infant stroller Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than many other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too.
This narrow, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban adventures due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It comes with UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade. It also has an open window in the front seat so that both children can take in the view. The model doesn't come with an inbuilt recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining area for infants and newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler's seat, making it an all-seater.
Convertible
A convertible twin pushchair is the flexibility to allow you to adapt the configuration of your pushchair as your kids grow. It is initially an individual pram, but it has adaptors that connect to the frame for a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are easier to navigate on the 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 is a amazing example of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations that include car seats and carrycots. Our test team loved the way it is slim and light is for a double-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for kids. In addition, the smart and intuitive recline lever that is one-handed located on the back of the seat unit makes it easy to get your child in a lie-flat position.
The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of a convertible twin stroller that has removable seats and can be set to face forward or backward, making it suitable for twins of all terrain double buggy age groups. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that are attached to the middle frame are able to accommodate an additional child.
Multiple configurations
The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair may affect its performance. You should look for a variety of options that will allow you to alter the direction in which your child's seat is facing based on their mood, the circumstances or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that is extremely adaptable. It has a reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other, you, or a new adventure. 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.
The side-by-side configuration is a popular option for new parents. One child is seated behind the second. This type of twin buggy is smaller than a standard pushchair, and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transportation. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance offers more than 20 options, so you can select the best configuration for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.
For those who wish to take their twins on jogging or go on more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into a jogger with both children facing forwards. This allows you to keep on top of your running companion and keeps the kids happy while they play.
Take into consideration your lifestyle when you choose a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they have additional features, such as 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 sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins from the elements.
It's equally important to assess the quality of a double buggy from birth pushchair, as it is to ensure that it fits into your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money, look for brands who have a strong focus on sustainability and offer detailed details on 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 where you can talk to other parents about their experiences and suggestions.
Storage
You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins so make sure you have a large undercarriage basket with plenty of compartments or pockets to stash your essentials. Make sure the storage areas are accessible with the seats in various positions as well. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby, plus has room to add the 'PiggyBack' board for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two infants in the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each) and the rejigged design means you can connect them facing either direction. It also has a convenient folding stand that makes it easy to store between usages.
