The Top Reasons People Succeed In The Twin Pushchair Industry

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option for families with two babies or children with similar ages. They provide two spaces for your infants and are usually equipped with a comfortable carrycot for newborns as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models that have easy-to-use push handles and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cups holders and a tray for snacks for kids and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face one other. This is the preferred method of some parents who find it less likely to cause sibling fights over who sits where. It's also a good option for places such as the Zoo, where both children can easily view each other. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggy however they tend to be wider and can feel long when pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs, but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is an economical option for families expecting more than one child, and it means that you don't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child outgrows it. It might not be the most suitable option for twins in the early months, as they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in single or double mode and can accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel which means it can be used on off-road trails. It is heavier than other options, but it has added durability.

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

This compact, single to double stroller is ideal for urban adventures. Its easy maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It has a UPF50and sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view in the front seat to let both children enjoy the view. The model doesn't have an integrated recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lie-flat area for infants and newborns. It can also accommodate a toddler seat to make it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that lets you change the configuration as your children develop. It begins as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that can be attached to the frame to allow for a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be wider than a standard buggy but can often be able to pass through doors and are easier to maneuver between kerbs. They also allow you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side, which works well for siblings of varying age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations, including car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from the iCandy brand is an excellent model of a double buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways, by using car seats, seat and carrycots.

The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that attach to the middle frame can accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a an impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. Consider a variety of seating options so that you can alter the direction your children's seats according to their mood or situation, as well as continuing to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinets that allow siblings to face one another and you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame's clever design can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories that are available for both types of configuration.

The side-byside configuration is a favorite choice for new parents. 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 a single pushchair, making it easier to navigate in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, has over 20 different configurations, so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family. it can even take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than their single counterparts because they have additional features like larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You may also find they are a bit heavier than a single stroller and you'll need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to safeguard your twins.

Checking the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as ensuring that it fits your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money choose brands that have a strong focus on sustainability and provide detailed details about their manufacturing processes. You can also gain valuable insight into the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events to talk to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot. Choose a vehicle equipped with a huge undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets and compartments for your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and a baby, plus has room to add a 'PiggyBack' board for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can put the cocoons with either a either direction, or reverse. It also has a convenient folding stand that makes it easy to store between usages.
