Finding the Best Twin Pushchair
If you have twins or a toddler and baby, finding the best twin pushchair is key to ensure they are comfortable on your travels. These pushchairs are light and easy to set-up, with lots of features.
The egg2 is a sleek buggy that can be used for a single or a double buggy. It takes 2 carrycots/seats. It also comes with five reclining options for maximum comfort and great on rougher terrain.
Side-by-Side
Twin pushchairs are a great option for parents looking to keep their children close and within reach. They are also more compact and easier to maneuver than tandem strollers. However, they might not fit through some doors or hallways, so it's important to verify the dimensions.
The top side-by-side twin pushchairs are made of tough materials and come with many features that will assist you in adjusting them to your growing family. The majority of them come with seats that recline and close to flat and be adjusted to multiple positions, including two lie-flat positions suitable for newborns. There is also a lot of storage space for your equipment and shopping. Some have a huge shopping basket that is placed behind the seat, in parent-facing mode, giving you easy access to the items your kids require on outings.
A great example of a top side-by-side twin pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest tandem pushchair on the market and has a footprint that is similar to a single buggy. It is also extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver across different terrains. This makes it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. It also comes with a large sun canopy and UPF 50+ fabric for maximum protection from the elements.
The Wave from Cybex is another excellent twin pushchair that has a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used as a double buggy from birth (and can be used with two carrycots or car seats) It also has a neat one-click fold that our Lab experts are awestruck by. Our testers also found it to be very comfortable for children to ride in, and the seats are spacious with plenty of legroom.
The UPPAbaby vist v2 is a favorite option for families with two toddlers or infants. It accepts two infant car seats and is designed to grow with your children since the two seats can be converted to a sit-and-stand configuration for older siblings. The seats can recline nearly flat and have an integrated cover that zips up for additional protection. The simple one-click fold is easy and it comes with useful suspension that can help it take on bumps and lumps.
Lightweight
If you're looking for a twin pushchair that's easy to operate and won't weigh down your vehicle take a look at the Graco DuoRider. It can accommodate two children comfortably and folds down with one hand to fit in the smallest of spaces. It also has a sturdy steel chassis that is among the lightest on the market, and expands widthways to accommodate twin seat(s) or a carrycot(s).
Reversible DuoRider Seats let siblings face eachother, you or an exciting world around them. The calf support and canopy can be adjusted individually to ensure that both children can take a relaxing ride. It is suitable from birth to toddler and fits in standard doorways too which makes it a great choice for mums of twins.
The egg2 is a second reversible twin stroller that's perfect for families with children. This stylish single-to-double stroller can fit 2 infant car seats or carrycots making it a fantastic double buggy. It comes with a large basket too, so you can easily carry everything you need.
It's worth looking into a light twin pushchair with accessories like sunshades and rain covers to make life easier, especially when travelling. Parents will also appreciate the convenience of cup holders as well as snack tray.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a stylish city buggy that's small and light, ideal for tackling public transport and shopping aisles. It can carry twins, a baby and a toddler or even three children with the aid of a 'PiggyBack'-style board (sold separately for the price of PS120). It comes with front suspension, which allows it to take on rougher surfaces as well. Its one-handed, stand-alone fold is incredibly convenient and our lab experts love how fast it can be closed and opened. It also has an ample basket as well as front and rear suspension for better handling on rough terrain. The only downside to this my babiie stroller is that the fabric is not as luxurious as the other models we've reviewed. It's a great twin stroller.
Tandem
A popular option for twins and larger families, tandem twin pushchairs are a single pushchair that can be made to accommodate two carrycots, infant seats, or a mixture of both. Many double travel systems employ this type of design and are compatible with a variety of car seats (although not all). This type of pushchair could be a bit larger than a standard side by side, but it is easy to maneuver through doors and into public transport. A heavier weight could make it feel less stable when bumping up kerbs. It may also require dismantling in order to fit into cars, however.
Some tandem buggy frames are able to be used as singles, with an additional rumble seat that can be placed in front, back or underneath. This is ideal for children of various ages. One example is the iCandy Peach, which offers 16 seating options, as well as it folds down compactly when not in use. The Joolz Geo is another smart option for city dwellers as is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used with twins, or running pram a toddler and baby, with its "piggyback" board that is added.
The iCandy Wave is also a fantastic twin pushchair. It can be used either as a single with a toddler in front or as a double pram with the parent, with both children facing forward. It features a single-click fold and is compatible with a variety of car seats, however you'll need adapters separately for any not manufactured by iCandy.
The Phil & Teds Sport is a stylish tandem stroller with narrow dimensions that enable you to maneuver through narrow aisles and tight spaces with ease, while its all-wheel suspension and a single swivel front wheel makes it a great off-roader for those rainy days out. It's not as light as other models, however it is a budget-friendly option and comes with a variety of extras that rival brands sell separately. The seat is also a great size for older children to be able to sit comfortably.
Convenient
Twin strollers (sometimes called duo or tandem strollers) are ideal for families who need to transport two children who are similar in age. They typically have seating that is side-by-side however some have different configurations so you can pick the most comfortable layout for your family.
The Graco DuoRider is a great example. It has a one hand fold and comes with a variety of features to make it comfortable that will appeal to both children. You can alter the recline, calf support and canopy to suit your needs making it a practical option for moms who want an easy, double pushchair.
It can be used with two car seats or carrycots. In mono mode, it is more compact and easy to maneuver through doors and public transportation. The iCandy Wave is popular with image-conscious parents and can be customised with a variety of accessories to match your personal style.
Our lab experts were impressed with how easy it was to set up, with an intelligent frame that expands widthways and lets the seats out and in with a single click. They also loved how spacious it was, with a deep shopping basket, as well as rear and front suspensions to ease the way over bumps and uneven surfaces. They did notice it was a bit long in twin mode and when using the two carrycots or seats, both children must face forwards, which might be a problem for certain.
The Joolz Urban Glide is another great jogging option that can be adjusted for use with one or two kids in car seats. It has a large canopy that can be widened to give a good amount of coverage. It also has a peekaboo window which kids and parents alike will love. It's a bit heavier than some of the other models, but our lab experts found it to roll smoothly and provided plenty of storage space in its undercarriage, although you'll need to buy additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers.
