11 Ways To Totally Block Your Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies that are the same age, a twin pushchair can be a great choice. They offer two spaces to carry your children and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants as well as car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with push handles that are easy to use and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons such as cups and a snack tray for parents and kids are also beneficial.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing both children to face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over which position. It is also a good option for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, however they also are more spacious and longer when they are being pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs and then can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means that you won't have to buy a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. It's not the best choice for twins who are in their early months, as they'll have to be of the same weight and age.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres so it is able to handle off-road trails too. It is heavier than other models, but it has added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment, or with an innovative double kit that is attached directly to the single seat. It comes with a single swivel wheel on the front and an all-wheel suspension that makes it more sturdy than other joggers we've tested. It's also compatible with many car seats.

This narrow, single-to- double stroller  is perfect for urban adventures thanks to its simple maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has a UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade and a peekaboo window in the front seat so that both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't have an integrated recline however, it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for infants and newborns. It can also be used with a toddler seat to make it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides the flexibility to allow you to change the design of your pushchair as your children get older. It is initially an individual pram, but it has adaptors that connect to the frame for a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are much easier to navigate on the kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great example of this type. It can be set up in 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. Our team was impressed by how light and slim it is for a double-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for the kids. Additionally, the clever and easy recline lever with one hand on the back of the unit makes it easy to help your child get into the position of lying flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with removable seats that can be placed to face either direction, or reverse, making it ideal for twins of any age. It can also accommodate an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have a major impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. Consider a variety of seating options so that you can switch up the direction of your children's seats based on their mood or the circumstances and continue to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely versatile. It has a reversible seat and bassinet configurations which allows siblings to face each other, you, or a new adventure. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It is able to be used in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-byside configuration is a popular choice for parents who are just starting out. One child sits behind the second. This type of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair, and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transportation. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, has over 20 different configurations so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family, and it can even accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins jogging or for more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy a jogger with both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep pace with your running companion and keeps the kids happy as they explore.

In general twin pushchairs can be a little heavier than single pushchairs due to extra features, such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before deciding on this kind of stroller. It is also possible that they're more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you might need to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.
