Five People You Need To Know In The Twin Pushchair Industry
Finding the Best Twin Pushchair
Whether you have twins or a baby and toddler stroller, choosing the right twin pushchair is key to ensure they are at ease on your journeys. These unique models are lightweight and easy to set up and have plenty of features for your little ones.
The egg2 is a sleek buggy that can be used as either a single or double buggy. It takes 2 carrycots/seats. It comes with 5 reclining positions for maximum comfort, and is ideal for rougher terrain.
Side-by-Side
Twin pushchairs are a great choice for parents who want to keep their children close and within reach. They are also more compact and easy to maneuver than tandem strollers. They might not fit through some doors or hallways. It's crucial to verify the dimensions.
The most effective side-by-side twin pushchairs are made of durable materials and come with plenty of features to assist you in adjusting them to your expanding family. They typically have seats that recline flat and can be adjusted to multiple positions. This includes two lie-flat positions specifically for newborns. There is also a lot of storage for your gear and shopping. Some models include a large storage basket behind the seat, which is facing you. This allows you to easily access items that your children may need on your outings.
A great example of a top side-by-side twin pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It's the tiniest twin pushchair on the market and has a footprint about the same size as the footprint of a single buggy. It is also extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver over various terrains. This makes it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. It comes with a large canopy and UPF 50+ material to provide maximum protection from the elements.
The Wave from Cybex is another excellent twin pushchair that has frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used from birth as a double stroller (and can fit two car seats for children or carrycots) and it also comes with a neat one click fold that our Lab experts are awestruck by. Our test subjects also found it very comfortable for children to ride in, and the seats are spacious with lots of legroom.
The UPPAbaby Vist v2 is another popular option for families with two toddlers or infants. It can accommodate two infant car seat carriers and is designed to grow with your kids because the two seats can be transformed into a stand-and-sit configuration for older siblings. The seats can be adjusted to a flat position and have a cover which zips up to provide extra protection. The one-click folding system is simple and the suspension makes it easier to handle bumps and lumps.
Lightweight
The Graco DuoRider is a light twin pushchair with a simple fold that won't make your car heavier. This side-by-side pushchair can seat two kids in comfort with an easy one-hand fold that lets you put it away in the smallest of spaces. It is built with a strong steel frame, which is among the lightest in the market. It can also be extended to accommodate twin seats or carrycots.
The Reversible DuoRider seats let siblings face one another, each other or the world around them. The calf support and canopy can be adjusted separately to ensure that both children can take a relaxing ride. It's suitable from birth until toddler and fits through standard doorways too which makes it a great choice for moms of twins.
Another twin-running pram reversible that is ideal for families with young children is the egg2. This stylish single-to-dual stroller can take 2 carrycots, or infant car seats, so it's a great double buggy for infants and growing families. It has a spacious basket, so you can easily carry everything you need.
Consider a lightweight twin-pushchair with accessories like sunshades and rain covers. This will make your life easier especially when you travel. Parents will appreciate the convenience of cup holders and snack tray.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a stylish, compact city buggy. It's perfect for public transport and shopping aisles. It can be used to transport twins as well as a baby and toddler or even three children with the assistance of a 'PiggyBack'-style board (sold separately for a price of PS120). It also has an front suspension for more rough surfaces. The one-handed folding system is extremely convenient and our lab technicians are impressed by the speed with which it opens and closes. It also has a large basket, as well as front and rear suspension to improve handling on difficult terrain. The only drawback is that its material isn't as luxurious as some of the other options we've reviewed. However, it's a affordable twin stroller.
Tandem
A popular choice for twins as well as larger families alike, tandem twin pushchairs are a single buggy that can be adapted to hold two carrycots or infant seats or a mixture of both. Many double travel strollers systems use this style and can be used with a variety of car seats (although not all). This type of pushchair could be a bit larger than a standard side-byside, but it is easy to maneuver through doors and onto public transportation. It can be less stable when you bump up kerbs because of its weight. It could also require dismantling in order to be able to fit in the car.
Some tandem buggy frames can also be used as a single unit with an 'rumble seat' that can be placed to the front, behind or underneath - ideal for growing children of various ages. The iCandy Peach is one example that offers 16 seating options. It also folds compactly when it's not in use. The Joolz Geo, another smart choice for city dwellers is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can be used by twins as well as an infant and toddler with its 'piggyback board'.
The iCandy Wave is also a excellent twin pushchair. It can be used either as a single with a toddler stroller in front, or as a double facing the parent, with both children facing forward. It folds easily in a single click and compatible with a variety of car seats. However, you'll need to purchase adapters for those not made by iCandy.
The Phil & Teds Sport is a stylish tandem stroller with a super-narrow footprint that will enable you to maneuver through narrow aisles and tight spaces with ease, while its all-wheel suspension and single swivel front wheels make it a suitable off-roader for those muddy days out. This pushchair isn't as lightweight as some other models but it is a budget-friendly option and comes with a variety of extras that competitors sell separately. The seat is of a good height to ensure that children of a certain age can sit comfortably.
Convenient
Twin strollers (sometimes called tandem or duo strollers) are perfect for families that need to transport two children who are similar in age. The majority of twin strollers feature side-by-side seating, however some come in various configurations that allow you to select the most comfortable one for your family.
The Graco DuoRider, for example features an easy fold that can be folded with one hand and is packed with customizable comfort features that both children will enjoy. You can alter the recline, foldable Pushchair calf supports and canopy to your preference making it a practical option for moms who want a simple, double pushchair.
It can be used with two car seats or carrycots. In mono mode, it's smaller and easier to maneuver through doors and public transport. The iCandy Wave, which is loved by parents who are conscious of their image, can be customized by adding a variety of additional accessories to match your personal style.
Our lab experts loved the ease of set up, with a clever frame that expands widthways and takes the seats out and in with a single click. The lab experts also loved how spacious it was with the large shopping basket with front and rear suspensions to help with bumps and uneven surfaces. In twin mode, they found it quite long. When using two carrycots or seat, both children must be facing forward, which might be a problem for other children.
The Joolz Urban Glide is another great jogging option that can be adjusted for use with just one or two kids in car seats. It has a big canopy that can be widened to provide a great coverage. It also has a peekaboo window which both kids will enjoy. It's heavier than other models but our lab experts found it to roll smoothly and offered plenty of storage in its undercarriage, although you'll need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades and rain covers.
