5 Laws Anyone Working In Twin Pushchair Should Know

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal option if you have two kids or children with similar ages. They provide two spaces for your little ones and usually come with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy-to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack trays for parents and kids are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face each other. Some parents like this design since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets the seat they prefer. It is also ideal when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandems are generally larger than single buggy but they tend to be wider and can feel long when being pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families with more than one child and it means that you won't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best twin stroller option for twins in the beginning, as they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger which can be utilized in double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can cope with off-road trails, too. It's a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight brings the added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that attaches directly to the single to double pushchair seat. It has one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers that we tested. It also works with a wide range of car seats.

This narrow, single to double stroller is perfect for urban adventures. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It features a UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view from the front seat to let both children enjoy the view. The model doesn't come with a built-in recline but can be paired with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat area for infants and newborns. It can also be fitted with a toddler's seat, making it a three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that allows you to alter the configuration as your kids develop. It starts out as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that attach to the frame to allow for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These types are generally larger than the standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are more maneuverable between kerbs. They also permit you to use a toddler seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is ideal for siblings of varying ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations, including carrycots, and car seats. Our test team liked how light and slim it is for a double-seater, while also offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for the kids. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever on the back of the unit also makes it easy for your child to lie flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It has removable seats that can be placed to face either way, which makes it suitable for twins of any age. It also accommodates a third child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could affect its efficiency. You should look for a variety of options that allow you to change the direction that your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other either with you or the exciting road ahead. The clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the extra seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories that are available for both configurations.

A popular option for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement, which means that one child is seated behind the other. This kind of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair, and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transportation. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations, so you can choose the best configuration for your family. it can even accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to turn this side-byside double to single buggy buggy, specifically designed for twins, into the jogger. Both kids will be facing towards the front. This allows you to keep up with your running partner while keeping the kids happy.

In general twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than their single counterparts because they come with additional features like bigger baskets and padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this kind of stroller. It is also possible that they're a little harder to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you may need to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.

It is equally important to assess the quality of a double stroller with infant car seat pushchair as it's to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and provide detailed information on their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for 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. Choose a vehicle equipped with a huge undercarriage basket and plenty of pockets and compartments for your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible even if the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can put the cocoons either facing forward or backward. It features a handy standing fold that makes it simple to store between usages.
