The Top Reasons Why People Succeed In The Twin Pushchair Industry

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies with similar age, a twin pushchair can be a great choice. They provide two spaces for your little ones and usually come with comfortable carrycots for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

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

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each other. This is the preferred choice of parents who believe it less likely to cause sibling squabbles over which side to sit in. It also works well for visiting places like the zoo where both kids can see each other easily. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, however they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are being pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This can be an affordable option for families expecting more than one child and it means you won't need to purchase another buggy if your older child outgrows it. It's not the best option for twins who are in their early months, as they'll have to be the same weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger that can be used in single or double mode and has two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can handle off-road trails too. It is heavier than other models, but it has added durability.

It features one swivel wheel at the front and all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers that we have tested. It is also compatible with a variety of car seats.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to change the configuration as your kids get older. It is initially a single pram with adaptors that can be attached to the frame to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models, however, they are able to fit through doors and are more suited to maneuver on the kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers side by side, which is great for siblings.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a major impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. You should consider a variety of options that will allow you to change the direction your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation, or even as they grow.

A popular choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is the side-by-side arrangement which means that one child is seated behind the other. This kind of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It is generally more compact than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in public spaces and through doors.

In general twin pushchairs can be a little heavier than single pushchairs because they have extra features, such as more spacious baskets and seats that are padded, so consider your lifestyle before deciding on this type of stroller. You may also find that they're a bit more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you may need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins from the elements.
