Which Twin Pushchairs Are Right For Your Family?

If you have twins, or your children are similar in age, a double pushchair could assist you in getting them from A to B in safety and quickly. Some of the models within this range such as the iCandy Wave, start life as single buggies but can be converted into double tandem pushchair mode as your family grows.

Side-by-side buggies

If you have two kids with similar ages and ages who will share a twin pushchair, then a side-byside model is probably the best. These models are also known as tandem pushchairs or duo buggys. They offer a variety of seating configurations, so it is easy to switch from one child to another, depending on the age and requirements of each child. These models are great for twins and siblings that are close in age. They can sit in a row, rather than facing eachother, making them feel more included.

They are often smaller than you would think which is why they are an excellent choice for those who don't want their double stroller to be too bulky. Look for a design that is elegant and manageable and has plenty of storage space. A large shopping basket is also important. Also, ensure that the seats have recline positions, as well with all the features to keep your children comfortable, such as canopies, headrests and footrests.

You'll also want to check how much the double buggy weighs, especially if you're carrying a baby or toddler and their car seat(s) or carrycot(s). It's important to note that many double buggies are available in tandem or side-byside models and it's crucial to determine which one will be right for your family prior to making a purchase.

The Egg2 twin pushchair is a popular choice for parents, thanks to its sleek design and versatility. It can be used as a single or as a tandem, and comes with options for both front and rear seats (including a lie-flat carrycot and infant seat) so you can easily transition from one child to another. It's lightweight and easy to use and comes with an extensive color selection so you can find the perfect style for your little ones. It comes with a parent and child tray to store snacks and drinks - ideal for keeping children entertained.

Tandem buggies

If you're expecting twins, or two children who are similar in age, a tandem pushchair is the perfect option. In contrast to twin prams or double buggies with kids sitting side-by-side, a tandem has one seat in front of the other, and is a more compact design. It is simpler to navigate narrow paths like supermarket aisles, and public transportation. It can also take up less room in the boot of your car.

A high-quality tandem buggy will be safe and comfortable for your kids. It should have a sturdy frame and safety harnesses that can be adjusted so that your child grows along with it. Both seats should also have plenty of padding. The best models have recline positions so that they can sit n stand double stroller up or lay down, based on their preference. They also have a canopy that is protected and can be extended to cover the front of the seat.

A buggy that folds with its seats firmly attached is an important feature. Some can be folded without the second seat, which can help you to save space if you are short in storage space. Some come with shoulder straps that make them easier to carry in a hurry.

A great option is the Joolz Geo 3, which can be used as a single or dual stroller, and can be converted to include the carrycot for infants, a toddler seat and a child-carrier board for older siblings. The toddler can sit in front of the parent, making the ride more exciting. Meanwhile, the older sibling can enjoy the view at the back. It's a versatile, stylish twin pushchair that's suited to urban living and can cope with rocky terrain and will adapt to your family.

Cybex is another company known for innovation and their Jupiter model is made of a sleek, light buggy that can be used as a single or cheap double stroller and is able to accommodate a newborn in a cocoon (sold separately) as well as a toddler in a reversible seat. This allows the littlest member of your family to ride in a completely flat protected environment, while the larger sibling can take in the sights.

Single-to-double buggies

You can choose a single-to-double buggy when you're a parent with twins. It will grow with your family. These models feature a frame that can be adapted to allow you to add another seat or carrycot. They're generally smaller than side-by-side twin buggy models, which makes them easier to navigate through doors and on public transport. However, they're less stable on uneven terrain and take up more space in your car's boot than a tandem model.

The egg2 single-to double pushchair is a great illustration of this kind of design. It's sleek as a single double stroller and offers a wide range of configurations as a double, which includes infant and carrycot seats. It's important to note that this model won't allow siblings to be parent-facing therefore if you wish to keep your children close together and give them ample opportunities for interaction when they're on the move, larger tandem models will be better for you.

There are also single-to-double buggies equipped with an integrated travel system that can fit either one or two car seat. These types of models are great if you're planning to use your car seat and you don't want to swap them out and in as needed. They're also a good option if you're not sure what the length of time your twins will require an infant stroller and you'd like the option to buy an infant seat when the time arrives.
