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 safely and easily. Some of the models in this range, like the iCandy Wave, start life as single buggies but can be converted to double mode as your family grows.

Side-by-side buggies

If you have two kids of similar ages that will share the same twin pushchair, then a side-byside model will probably suit you best. Also called a tandem or duo pushchair, these models usually offer various seating options, so you can easily switch from one child to another according to their age and requirements. They are perfect for twins or siblings who are similar in age, as they can be seated next to one another rather than facing each one another, which makes them feel more at home and less like they are being forced into a pair of seats.

They are often smaller than you think, so they are a great option for those who do not wish to make their double stroller too heavy. Choose a model that is sleek and easy to manage, with plenty of storage space. A large shopping basket is vital. You'll also want to ensure that the seats are equipped with recline positions, as well with all the features that will ensure your children are comfortable, including canopies, headrests and footrests.

You should also consider how much the double buggie weighs, especially when you're carrying toddlers or babies and their car seat(s) or carrycot(s). It's important to know that a lot of double buggies can be found in tandem or side-byside models and it's crucial to determine which one is suitable for your family prior to making a buy.

It has the tray for children and parents to store snacks and drinks which is ideal for keeping kids entertained.

Tandem buggies

A tandem pushchair is a great option if you're expecting twins or have two children with similar ages. In contrast to twin prams or double buggies which have children sitting side by side the tandem has one seat that is behind the other and has more compact in design. This makes it easier to maneuver and navigate narrow streets like supermarket aisles and public transport. It also means that it will take less space in your car's boot.

A high-quality tandem buggy is secure and comfortable for your kids. It should have a sturdy chassis and safety harnesses which can be adjusted to ensure that your child grows with it. Both seats should also include plenty of padding. The best models also come with recline positions that allow you to lie or sit and stand double stroller down depending on your preference. Additionally, they have a protective canopy that can be extended over the front seat.

A buggy that folds with its seats attached is a key feature. Some models fold without the second seat, which can allow you to save space if you're running low on storage. You'll also find some have straps for the shoulders that are simple to get when you're in a hurry.

Single-to-double buggies

If you're a parent of twins and searching for a twin pushchair that will grow with your family, you can go for a double-to-single buggy. These models feature an adaptable frame that lets you to add another seat or carrycot. They tend to be narrower than twin buggy models that can be used for doorways or on public transport. However, they're less stable on uneven terrain and take up more space in your car boot than a tandem model.

This type of design is best illustrated by the well-known egg2 single-to-double pushchair. It's sleek as a single, 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 seated in front of parents therefore if you wish to keep your children together and give them plenty of opportunity for interaction on the move then a bigger tandem style would be better for you.

These kinds of buggies are great if you're planning to use your own car seat and don't mind swapping them in and out when needed.

Carrycots

A carrycot is an ideal place for your baby to nap and rest while you're out and out and about. Aside from being cosy and comfortable, they also have high sides that shield your baby's delicate skin from the wind, rain, and sun. In fact, many of the best twin strollers include the carrycot in their bundle.

Unlike Moses baskets, which are only intended to be used indoors, most carrycots can be used outdoors. Make sure you read the instructions of the manufacturer prior to taking your child out for an outing. It's also important to consider that your child will eventually outgrow their carrycot, so choose one with a maximum weight limit of 9 kg or more.

When shopping for a twin stroller and carrycot, be sure to choose a model that meets European standards for flammability and airflow. It should be lightweight, with a smaller footprint to make it easy to store in your car. Also, think about getting one with a large under-seat storage basket that can accommodate up to 22 pounds of equipment. This will provide you with enough space to store your baby's essentials such as a changing mat and a shopping bag.

If your baby is crying in their carrycot, it's typically because they're trying to get up or sit themselves up. They might also be frustrated that they can't see their surroundings or their parents. If this is the case, you should convert the pushchair as soon as you can into an infant stroller.
