10 Misconceptions Your Boss Shares About Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

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

Look out for models with easy-to-use push handles and an GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for children and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face each the other. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over who sits where. It's also a good alternative for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to view each their fellow. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, however they also tend to be wider and longer when being pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is an affordable option for families expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means that you don't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best choice for twin babies in the early months since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in a nipper double buggy or single mode and can accommodate 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 also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment or with a handy double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than many other joggers we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats as well.

This stroller is narrow and single-to-double. It is ideal for urban adventures due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It features an UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade. It also has a window that peeks out from the front seat so that both children can enjoy the view. This model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining area for infants and newborns. It can also be equipped with a toddler seat making it a three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers a flexible option, allowing you to change the design of your pushchair as your kids grow. It begins as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that can be attached to the frame to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These types are generally larger than the standard buggy but can often be able to pass through doors and are easier to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers in tandem, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations using seats, carrycots and car seats. The Peach 7 from iCandy is a fantastic example of a cheap double pushchair buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways, using seats, car seat and carrycots. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever on the back of the unit makes it easy for your child to lay down flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of convertible twin strollers with seats that are removable and can be set to face forward or backward which makes it suitable for twins of all ages. It also can accommodate an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can significantly affect its performance. It is important to look for a variety of options that will allow you to change the direction that your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, situation, or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely adaptable. It comes with a reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other, you, or a new adventure. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode with a variety of accessories to suit both configurations.

The side-by-side configuration is a favorite choice for parents who are new. One child is seated behind the second. This kind of twin buggy gives both children the same view. It generally narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations so that you can choose the best double strollers configuration for your family, and it can even take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

If you want to take their twins jogging 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 allows you to keep pace with your running partner while keeping your children happy.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier due to the additional features like larger baskets and more padding for the seats. You might also notice that they're a little heavier than a single stroller and that you need to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to safeguard your twins.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as making sure it fits your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the best value for money. You can also gain valuable insights into the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or at local events where you can talk to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage storage basket as well as plenty of pockets and compartments for your necessities. The storage areas should be easy to access even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two infants in the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each), while the rejigged design means you can put them in any direction. It also has a convenient folding stand that makes it easy to store between uses.
