10 Startups That ll Change The Twin Pushchair Industry For The Better

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal choice if you have two kids or children who are similar in age. They offer two places for your children and usually come with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models that have easy-to-use push handles and a GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face one another. This is the preferred method of parents who believe it less likely to cause sibling rivalries over who is sitting where. It is also ideal when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids can see each other easily. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, however they also are wider and longer when they are 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 cost-effective solution for families that are expecting more than one child, and it means that you don't have to purchase another buggy if your older child outgrows it. However, it might not be the best choice for twin babies in the early months since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in single or double mode and accommodates two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off-road trails, too. It's a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight comes with an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative double 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 have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too.

This compact stroller, which is single to double, is perfect for urban adventures. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It has an UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view in the front seat so that both children can enjoy the view. This model does not have a built in recline however it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for newborns or infants. It also fits the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides a flexible option, allowing you to adapt the design of your pushchair as your kids grow. The frame is initially one pushchair but has adaptors to allow for the addition of a second chair or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models, but they can fit through doors and are easier to maneuver on 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 wonderful illustration of this type. It can be set up with 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from the iCandy brand is a great example of a double buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways, with car seats, seats and carrycots. The simple and easy one-handed reclining mechanism on the rear of the seat unit also makes it easy for your child to lie on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be placed to face either way, which makes it ideal 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 arrangement can have an impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. Be sure to look for a variety of options so that you can change the direction your children's seats based on their mood or the situation and also continue to use the same ones as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely adaptable. It comes with a reversible seats and bassinets, which allow siblings to face each other, one another, or a new adventure. The clever frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. It can be used in Mono or cheap double buggy mode with a range of accessories for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are new is the side-by-side arrangement which means that one child is seated behind the other. This type of twin buggy (via Google) gives both children the same view and is typically narrower than a single pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through public spaces and through doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example, offers over 20 configurations to choose the best configuration for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins on jogging or for more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double buggy side-by-side into a jogger with both kids facing forwards. This allows you to keep up with your running partner and keeps your kids entertained as they explore.

Take into consideration your lifestyle when you choose a lightweight twin buggy pushchair. They are generally heavier due to the additional features, such as larger baskets and extra padding for the seats. You may also find they're a little heavier than a single stroller, and you'll need to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers in order to protect your twins.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring that it's within your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and offer detailed information on their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for your money. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can provide important information on the most suitable twin pushchair.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Find a car equipped with a huge undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments and pockets for 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 a baby, plus has room to add a 'PiggyBack' board for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons included (PS59 each). Thanks to the new design, you can put the cocoons either facing either way or backwards. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it simple to keep in storage between use.
