When you're taking twins for a stroll or have a toddler and a baby at the same time 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, are available in many different configurations that will suit any family. Some are side by side, pushchair newborn (learn more) while others have a front and a back for smaller spaces. Some can be converted to single prams when your children outgrow them. This makes them a great option for families with growing children.

Many twin buggies are travel systems that include car seats that can be attached to the frame. This can be useful for travelling with young babies and toddlers since that you don't need to move them from the car to the pushchair which could cause disturbance to them. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an example of twin pushchairs that can be used as a travel system and it also comes with a handy parent-facing mode for newborns.

Tandem twin buggies, on other hand, are usually designed for children of similar ages and are more likely to provide an individual seat for each child. They're less likely to include carrycots for younger babies and are generally larger than single buggies. They can be manoeuvred, though and a lot of them have an independent seat recline to allow both children to sit up or recline to snooze.

Folding is simple

It is important for your double pushchair to fold easily should you decide to purchase it. This will make it easier to move the buggy around and also to store it in smaller areas. Most brands offer a number of ways to fold the pushchair, so you'll be able to choose one that best suits your requirements. Some models even come with a handy shoulder strap to help you to carry.

Most twin pushchairs are foldable using just one hand, however it is important to confirm before purchasing that yours will be able to do this. A few of the top models can be folded with the seat removed, making them more compact. This is especially useful when you're short of storage space.

A twin pushchair that's too wide may not fit through standard doors. The larger width of tandem buggies can sometimes be an issue therefore it is important to determine the door's width before you buy. There are models that are slimmer and are designed to fit through narrower doors if this is an issue.

The good news is that not all double buggies are large, bulky and difficult to keep in storage. In fact there are a lot of models that are designed to be slim and foldable. This will allow them to be smaller in size and be easier to get in and out of the vehicle.

Some twin pushchairs are also lightweight, making them a breeze to transport and handle trains, buses, and shopping aisles. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a perfect example, thanks to its lightweight frame and four-wheel suspension that makes it a breeze to navigate rough terrain. With the addition of a 'piggyback board', it can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby.

It is important to determine if the storage space remains accessible when both seats are used. Some side-byside configurations can be a challenge, and the "one above, one below' style of tandem may hinder access due to child's legs. Look for generous compartments, baskets and pockets which can store everything from toys and snacks to sun cream and rain covers.

Take a look at the accessories that are available. Some twin pushchairs come with a range of extras that can be beneficial, from special drink holders for the little ones to snack trays for older children.

If you plan to use your twin buggy lot for long-distance outings with the family and excursions around town, it's worthwhile to invest in a model that folds down so that it can be easily transported to a car boot or the trunk of a rental car. A slim, streamlined design can also be helpful in getting through narrow aisles and doors in public transport.

There are buggy models which fold with the seats removed for smaller storage. These are ideal for use at home. It is also important to take into consideration the weight of a double buggy. Heavier buggies are more difficult to maneuver and might be difficult to maneuver up or down kerbs.

Most twin pushchairs are fixed side-byside designs, with some that can accommodate two carrycots, or seat units (and sometimes a third). Some twin pushchairs can be used by single children with an age gap of less than 2 years or by siblings.
