What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair<br /><br />A twin pushchair is the perfect option if you have two children or kids who are similar in age. They offer two spaces for your infants to travel and are usually equipped with comfy carrycots or chairs for infants, as well as car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.<br /><br />Be on the lookout for models that have easy-to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons such as cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also helpful.<br /><br />Tandem<br /><br />The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children face each other. Some parents prefer this style because it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in the seat they prefer. It is also ideal when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children can easily see each other. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, but they also tend to be wider and longer when they are pushed.<br /><br />A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child is outgrowing it. It might not be the best option for twins in their early years, as they will need to be of the same weight and age.<br /><br />The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and air-filled tyres, so it is able to handle off-road trails as well. It is heavier than other alternatives but it also has durability.<br /><br />The Phil &amp; Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that attaches directly to the single seat. With one swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.<br /><br />This compact stroller that converts from a single to a double is perfect for urban excursions. Its easy maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It has a UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade and an open window in the front seat, so both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't come with a built-in recline but can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining space for infants and newborns. It also fits the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.<br /><br />Convertible<br /><br />A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to alter the layout as your children develop. The frame is initially a single pushchair with adaptors to allow for the addition of a second chair such as a carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be larger than the standard buggy but can often be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable up and down kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers in tandem which is ideal for siblings.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.pushchairsandprams.uk/categories/double-pushchairs">Pushchairs And Prams</a> is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations, including carrycots, and car seats. The Peach 7 from iCandy is an excellent model of a double buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways with car seats, seat and carrycots. The intuitive and clever one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the seat unit makes it easy for your child to lie down flat.<br /><br />The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of convertible twin strollers with seats that are removable and can be set up to face forward or backward which makes it suitable for twins of all ages. It also accommodates an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.<br /><br />Multiple configurations<br /><br />The seating configuration of your twin pushchair could affect its efficiency. You should consider various options that allow you to change the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, the situation or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that let siblings to face each other and you, or the exciting route ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.<br /><br />A common choice of configuration for parents who are new is a side-by-side configuration, in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is smaller than a standard pushchair and can be pushed through doors and on public transportation. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance offers more than 20 options which means you can pick the best set-up for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.<br /><br />For those who wish to take their twins jogging or to go on more adventurous excursions The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into an jogger that has both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep pace with your running companion while keeping your kids entertained.<br /><br />In general twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than single pushchairs because they have additional features such as more spacious baskets and seats that are padded and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before deciding on this kind of stroller. It is also possible that they're a bit more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair and you may need to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.<br /><br />Examining the quality of a twin pushchair is as important as making sure it is within your budget and lifestyle.
