What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair If you have two kids or babies of the same age, a twin pushchair can be a great choice. They provide two spaces for your infants and usually come with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers. Be sure to look for models with push handles that are easy to use and an GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also handy. Tandem The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face one their respective faces. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to cause sibling fights over which side to sit in. It is also a good option for places like the Zoo, where both children can easily view each one another. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggys however they are generally larger and may feel longer when they are pushed. A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs and then can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a new buggy once your older child is no longer using it. However, double pushchair may not be the best choice for twins in the beginning because they'll need to be of similar age and weight. The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it is able to handle off-road trails too. It's a bit heavier than other models however the extra weight brings an increased durability. The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either seat in the main compartment, or with a nifty double kit that is attached to the existing single seat. With the single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too. This compact, single-to- double stroller is perfect for urban adventures with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It features an UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view in the front seat for both children to enjoy the view. This model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat area for infants and newborns. It also fits the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater suitable for older children. Convertible A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that lets you alter the configuration as your children develop. It begins as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that can be attached to the frame for a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These types are generally larger than the typical buggy, but are able to fit through doorways and are more maneuverable between kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side-by-side which is ideal for siblings. The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a wonderful example of this type. It can be set up with 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. Our test team liked how slim and lightweight it is for a dual-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for children. The simple and easy one-handed reclining mechanism on the rear of the seat unit also makes it easy for your child to lie down flat. The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of a convertible twin stroller with seats that are removable and can be set to face forward or backward which makes it suitable for twins of all ages. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame could accommodate an additional child. Multiple configurations The seating configuration can have a major impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for several options that will permit you to change the direction your child's seat faces depending on their mood, the circumstances or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face each other, you, or the exciting route ahead. The frame expands to allow for an additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations. The side-by-side configuration is a popular choice for new parents. One child sits behind the second. This kind of twin buggy offers the advantage of giving both children the same view and is generally more compact than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to navigate in the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example, offers over 20 configurations which means you can pick the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode. The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, which is made for twins, to an Jogger. Both kids will face forward. This lets you keep on top of your running partner and keep your kids entertained while they play. In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than single pushchairs because they come with additional features like larger baskets and extra-padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You may also find that they're a little harder to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you may need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements. Verifying the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring it fits your budget and lifestyle. Choose brands that are committed to sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for your money. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events to talk to other parents about their experiences and recommendations. Storage If you have twins, you'll need carry a lot of stuff. Look for a car with a large undercarriage basket as well as numerous compartments and pockets for your necessities. The storage areas should be easily accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby and also include a 'PiggyBack' table for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Because of the new design, you can put the cocoons facing either way or backwards. It also comes with a handy folding design that can be stored between usages.
