What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair A twin pushchair is a great option for families with two children or kids of a similar age. They provide two places for your infants to travel and are usually equipped with cosy carrycots or seats for infants as well as car seats that are compatible with older toddlers. Find models that have easy-to-use push handles and the GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cups holders and a tray for snacks for kids and parents are also beneficial. Tandem The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing the children to look at each their respective faces. This is the preferred choice of some parents who find it less likely to cause sibling rivalries over who is sitting where. It is also a good option when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children are able to see each other clearly. Tandems can be larger than single buggy however they tend to be larger and may feel longer when pushed. Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is an affordable option for families that are expecting more than one child and it means that you don't have to buy an entirely new buggy once your older child is outgrowing it. However, it may not be a good option for twins in the early months since they'll have to be similar in age and weight. The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel forward wheel which means it can be used for off-road trails. It is a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight brings an increased durability. The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger is a great choice for either seat in the main compartment, or with a nifty double kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. It features a single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension, which makes it more sturdy than other joggers we've tested. It also works with a variety of car seats. This compact, single-to- double stroller is perfect for urban adventures thanks to its simple maneuverability and large shopping basket. It comes with an UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo window in the front seat for both children to take in the view. The model doesn't come with a built-in recline but can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining area for infants and newborns. It can also accommodate an infant seat, making it a three-seater suitable for older children. Convertible A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to change the configuration as your kids get older. The frame starts as a single pushchair with adaptors attached to it to allow for the addition of a second chair or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are typically larger than the standard buggy but can often be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable between kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat in tandem which is ideal for siblings. The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations using seats, carrycots and car seats. Our test team liked how light and slim it is for a double-seater, as well as offering a spacious and comfortable ride for kids. Additionally, the clever and intuitive recline lever with one hand on the back of the seat unit makes it simple to get your child into a lie-flat position. The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It has removable seats that can be set to face either direction, or reverse, making it suitable for twins of any age. It also can accommodate another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame. Multiple configurations The seating configuration of your twin pushchair can have a significant impact on its performance. Be sure to look for a variety of options so that you can alter the direction of your children's seats according to their mood or the circumstances, as well as continuing to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that let siblings to face one another and you, or the exciting path ahead. The clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode with a range of accessories to suit both configurations. The side-by-side arrangement is a popular choice for parents who are just starting out. One child sits behind the other. This type of twin pushchair gives both children the same view. It is typically narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, has over 20 different configurations so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family, and it can even take two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode. For those who wish to take their twins for a jog or go on more adventurous adventures with the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into a jogger with both children facing forwards. This lets you keep up with your running companion while keeping your kids entertained. Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they have additional features, such as bigger baskets and padded seats. It is also possible that they're a little harder to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you may need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to shield your twins from the elements. It is equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair as it's to ensure that it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and provide specific information on their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for money. You can also gain valuable insight into the best twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events to speak to other parents about their experiences and recommendations. Storage If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage storage basket and numerous compartments and pockets for your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can put the cocoons either facing forward or backward. It comes with a convenient standing fold that makes it simple to store between uses.
