10 Things We All Hate About Twin Pushchair
Finding the Best Twin Pushchair
If you have twins or a baby and toddler, finding the best twin pushchair is essential to keeping them comfortable on your travels. These unique models are light, easy to set up and have lots of features for toddlers.
The egg2 is a sleek and stylish buggy that can be used for one or two buggy. It takes 2 carrycots/seats. It can be reclining in 5 positions to ensure maximum comfort and is great on rougher terrain.
Side-by-Side
Parents who want to keep their children close and in sight ought to consider twin pushchairs. They're also more compact than tandem strollers and are easier to maneuver. However, they may not fit through some doors and hallways, so it's essential to verify the dimensions.
The best twin pushchairs designed for side-by-side use are made from sturdy materials and come with a variety of features that allow you to adjust them to your growing family. Most of them come with seats that recline to near-flat and can be adjusted into multiple positions, including two lying flat positions for infants. They also come with a large amount of storage space for your shopping and gear. Some come with a large shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode, giving you quick access to the things that your children require during your outings.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is a great example of a side-by-side tandem pushchair. It's the thinnest tandem pushchair available and has a footprint that is similar to a single buggy. It's also extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver across diverse terrains, making it ideal for those who love the outdoors. It also comes with a massive sun canopy and UPF 50+ fabric to provide maximum protection against the elements.
Another great side-by-side twin pushchair is Cybex's Wave, which features an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat. It can be used from birth as double stroller (and can accommodate two carrycots or child car seats), plus it has a neat one click fold that our Lab experts appreciate. It is also very comfortable for children to ride in. The seats are large with plenty of legroom.
The UPPAbaby Vist v2 is a popular choice for families with two young toddlers or babies. It can accommodate two infant car seats and is designed to grow along with your children. The two seats can be transformed into a stand-and-sit configuration for older siblings. The seats can also be reclined to almost flat and come with a protective cover which zips up to provide extra protection. Its easy one-click fold makes folding easy and it comes with an effective suspension that allows it to tackle bumps and lumps.
Lightweight
If you're looking for a twin pushchair that's easy to use and doesn't burden your car take a look at the Graco DuoRider. This side-by-side buggy seats two children in comfort and features an easy one-hand fold that lets you store it in the tightest of spaces. It is built with a strong steel frame, which is among the lightest 3 in 1 pram the market. It can also be extended to accommodate twin seats or carrycots.
Reversible DuoRider Seats allow siblings to look at each other, either you or the exciting world around them. The calf support and canopy adjust individually, too, allowing both to enjoy a comfortable ride. It's suitable from birth until toddler and fits in doors that are normally used making it a sensible choice for moms of twins.
Another reversible twin stroller that is ideal for families with young children is the egg2. This stylish single-to-dual stroller can accommodate 2 carrycots or infant car seats, making it a great double buggy for infants and families that are growing.

Think about a light twin-pushchair with extras like sunshades or rain covers. This will simplify your life especially when you're traveling. Parents will also appreciate the convenience of cup holders and snack trays.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an elegant city buggy that's light and compact, perfect to navigate public transport and shopping aisles. It can be used to transport twins as well as a baby and toddler, or even three kids with the aid of a 'PiggyBack' 'board' (sold separately for a price of PS120). It also comes with an front suspension for more rough surfaces. Its single-handed folding mechanism is incredibly useful, and our lab experts are impressed by the speed with which it opens and closes. It also has a generous basket, as well as front and rear suspension to make it easier to maneuver on terrain that is difficult. The only drawback is that its fabric isn't as luxurious as some of the other options we've looked at. However, it's a very affordable twin stroller (head to Willysforsale).
Tandem
A tandem twin pushchair is a popular choice by twins, larger families and even a combination of both. It is a single stroller that is able to hold two infant seats or carrycots. Many double travel systems use this design and are compatible with a wide variety of car seats (although not all). This type of pushchair is generally wider than a side-by-side model, but it is able to get through doors and onto public transport, particularly those with frames that have a step-through. A heavier weight may make it feel less stable as you go up kerbs, and could require dismantling to fit into cars, however.
Some tandem buggy frames can also be used as a single with the addition of a 'rumble' seat to the front, behind or underneath - ideal for growing children of various age groups. The iCandy Peach is one example, offering 16 different seating configurations. It also folds compactly when not in use. The Joolz Geo, another smart choice for city dwellers is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can be used by twins or an infant and toddler with its 'piggyback ' board.
The iCandy Wave is also a great twin pushchair. It can be used as a single, with an infant in front, or as a double that faces the parent with both children facing towards the rear. It is easy to fold with a single click and compatible with a variety of car seats. However, you will require adapters for the seats that aren't manufactured by iCandy.
The Phil & Teds Sport tandem stroller is a sleek and stylish tandem stroller with an extremely compact footprint. Its all-wheel suspension system and single swivel wheel on the front make it a fantastic off-roader. The pushchair isn't as light as other models, however it is a budget-friendly option and comes with plenty of accessories that other brands sell separately. The seat is of a good height so that older children can sit comfortably.
Convenient
Twin strollers (sometimes called duo or tandem strollers) are ideal for families that need to transport two kids who are similar in age. Most twin strollers have side-byside seating, but some come in various configurations that allow you to pick the most comfortable model for your family.
The Graco DuoRider, for example, has a one-hand fold and is packed with customizable features that children and parents will enjoy. You can alter the recline, calf support and canopy to your preference making it a practical option for moms who want a hassle-free double pushchair.
It can be used with two car seats or carrycots. In mono mode, it's more compact and easy to maneuver through doorways and public transport. The iCandy Wave is popular with parents who are conscious of their image and can be customized with a variety of accessories to fit your individual style.
Our lab experts liked the ease of set up, thanks to a clever frame that expands widthways and takes the seats in and out by a single click. The lab experts also loved the spaciousness of it, with a large shopping basket, front and rear suspensions that help with bumps and uneven surfaces. In twin mode, they found it a bit long and when using two carrycots or seat that both children be facing forward, which might be a problem for some.
The Joolz Urban Glide offers another great option for jogging. It can be adjusted so that it can be used by two or more children in car seats. It has a big canopy that can be widened to give a good amount of coverage. It also includes a peekaboo view, that both kids will appreciate. It's a little heavier than other models but our lab experts found it to roll smoothly and offered plenty of storage under the car, but you'll need to buy additional accessories like sunshades and rain covers.
