When looking for a twin pushchair, it's important to think about the various configurations that are available. The most popular options are twin double buggies and side-by-side double buggies.
The iCandy Strawberry twin buggy is the most loved by parents and will grow with your family. It is an individual buggy that is able to be converted to a double by adding two carrycots or car seat.
Easy to Manoeuvre
If you're taking twins for a walk or have a toddler and a baby at the same stage the double pushchair is an essential tool when it comes to keeping them content. Double buggys, or twin prams, as they are often referred to, come in a variety to accommodate all types of families. Some are side-by-side, while others have a front and back to accommodate narrow spaces. Some are able to be converted into single prams after your children are old enough to use them. This is a great choice for growing families.
They are easier to steer than tandem twin buggies, since the front wheels can be locked for extra stability. There is also more storage space behind them. They are also more compact than other twin buggies. This means they are easier to maneuver through doorways and public transport. They are generally lighter than other twin prams and they are more mobile too, although you might find them harder to get to and from kerbs, or on uneven terrain.
If you're looking for a more modern twin pushchair the iCandy Peach is a stylish option that comes in a range of colours. It is also a great twin triple stroller for newborns and babies, thanks to the cosy newborn cocoons that create a lie-flat enclosed space. It has a small basket and has an impressive suspension so that it can be able to handle bumpy surfaces.
Many twin buggies are travel systems that have car seats that attach to the frame. This is useful when travelling with toddlers and infants since you don't have to move them from their car to the pushchair. This could disturb them. The UPPaby vista 2 is a twin-pushchair that can also be used as an e-travel system. It comes with a parent-facing mode, which is perfect for babies.
Tandem twin buggies on the other hand, are usually designed for children of similar ages. They tend to have an individual seat for each child. They are less likely to have carrycots for babies less than six months old, and tend to be wider than single buggies. They're still easily moveable, but most have an independent seat recline, so both kids can sit upright or be in a snooze-position.
Easy to fold
It is important for your double pushchair that folds easily if you're going to buy it. This makes it easier for you to transport the buggy from one location to another and will also allow you to store it in a smaller area. The majority of brands offer a variety of ways to fold the pushchair so you'll be able to find one that meets your needs. Some include a convenient shoulder strap to make it easier for you to carry.
Before you purchase, make sure the item you purchase can fold with one hand. Some of the best models can be folded with the seat removed, making them even more compact. This is especially useful in the case of a lack of storage space.
A twin pushchair that is too large may not be able to pass through standard doors. The larger width of tandem buggies may be an issue, so it's worth measuring the dimensions of your doors prior to you buy. If this is the case, there are slimmer models out there that are designed to be more streamlined to get through doorways.
In our lab tests, the UPPAbaby Vista was a winner for being easy to fold and compact when not in use. It can hold two infant car seats and two toddler seats. This is a great choice for families growing. It also has an excellent large storage basket as well as foam-filled rubber tires that won't fall flat.
It's less expensive than some of the other models we've looked at and is an excellent choice for twins or babies of similar age. It can be used with an incredibly comfortable carrycot as well as an infant seat and it can accommodate three children by incorporating the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board (sold separately).
Chicco Cortina together is a great choice for dual strollers that are affordable. It can accommodate two Chicco infant car seats, so it's suitable for twins as young as. It comes with a large storage basket, an easy-to use handlebar, and brakes.
Easy to store
It's good to be aware that not all double buggies have to be huge, bulky and difficult to pram store near me. In fact, there are plenty of models that are designed to be slim and manageable when folded. This will allow them to be smaller in size and be simpler to get in and out of the vehicle.
Some twin pushchairs can be light, making it simple to transport them and use them in buses or trains as well as in shopping aisles. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 comes to the forefront, thanks to its lightweight frame that is able to handle rough terrain and four-wheel suspension. It can also be used to carry twins (or a baby and toddler) with the addition of the 'piggyback' board.
It's worth checking if the storage space remains accessible when both seats are in use. Some side-byside configurations are tricky. The "one above and one below' tandem can also block access by the legs of a child. Find large baskets, pockets and compartments to store everything from sun cream and rain covers to snacks and toys.
It is also important to think about the type of add-ons available. Some twin pushchairs have a variety of useful extras, such as drink holders for the younger children or snack tray for older children. It is worth looking for a model with these features as in addition to a built-in sun canopy or rain cover, as well as a the hood to keep your little children safe.
Many twin pushchairs convert into an entire travel system that can accommodate families that are growing. They offer the option of adding the option of a car seat, buggy seat or carrycot. This can be particularly useful for toddlers and newborns, as it ensures that they're safe, comfortable and ready for every adventure. The egg2 is a favorite due to its sleek design and its versatility. However, it may be heavier than its competitors.
If you're on an extremely tight budget, there are still plenty of great options for less than PS200. The iCandy Pegasus 2 is a great choice, with its large basket and easy-access storage in all seating positions. It comes with a padded foot support and a waterproof cover.
Easy to transport
If you intend to utilize your twin buggy a lot for full-day family outings and excursions around town, it's worth investing in an option that folds so that it can be easily transported into a car boot or the trunk of a hired car. A slim, manageable design is also helpful for the narrow aisles and doors in public transport.
There are models that fold with the seats removed for even more compact storage. They are ideal for use at home. You'll need to think about the weight of the buggy, too heavier double buggies tend to be more difficult to manoeuvre and may struggle to navigate up or down kerbs.
Some twin pushchairs can hold up to two carrycots (and sometimes even an additional one) and are designed to be used in a side-by-side arrangement. They can also be used for single children of a similar age or for siblings with only a small age gap. The brilliant Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo is an excellent example with reversible seats that let the children sit facing each other or with you as well as different designs suitable for children from birth to toddlerhood.
A twin pushchair is a convenient choice for families living near public transport routes as it's generally easier to take and get off trains, buses, or trams. It is ideal for towns and cities with large numbers of people, bustling streets, or shopping centers.
If you're in search of a twin-pushchair that will allow you to easily hop on and off public transport, we suggest a model like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 – a sleek urban buggy that can be used by two babies using the newborn cocoons included or for one baby and a child older than the baby by using its clever'sidepack'. (available separately for PS45). The second seat is connected to the frame at the back and can be positioned to face either direction. You can even add a piggyback board (also sold separately for PS120) to take three kids on longer outings.
