10 Startups That Are Set To Revolutionize The Twin Pushchair Industry …

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair can be a great option. They have two seats for your infants and are typically equipped with a comfortable carrycot for newborns as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models that have easy-to-use push handles and an GIANT storage basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack trays for parents and kids are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing both children to face one other. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over the seat they prefer. It is also a good option when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, however they are also wider and longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won't have to buy a brand new buggy once your older child is no longer using it. However, it might not be the best choice for twins in the early months as they'll need to be similar in age and weight.

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 has an air-filled tire and a swivel forward wheel and can be used on off-road trails. It is heavier than other options however it offers durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double stroller with car seat single pushchair (full report) kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. It features one swivel wheel at the front and an all-wheel suspension, which makes it more stable than other joggers that we've tested. It also works with many car seats.

This compact, single-to-smallest double buggy stroller is perfect for urban adventures thanks to its simple maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has an UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view from the front seat for both children to enjoy the view. This model does not come with a built in recline however, it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants and newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat making it a three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to alter the layout as your children develop. The frame begins as a single pushchair with adaptors attached to it to allow for the addition of a second chair or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are typically larger than the standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are more maneuverable through kerbs and up and down. They also permit you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side, which works well for siblings of varying age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations that include carrycots and car seats. Our team was impressed by the way it is slim and light is for a double-seater, and also provides a large and comfortable ride for the kids. Additionally, the clever and simple recline lever with one hand on the back of the seat unit makes it simple to get your child into an upright position.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have an impact on the performance of your twin stroller with car seats pushchair. You should consider several options that will allow you to change the direction your child's seat is facing based on their mood, situation, or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that let siblings to be facing each other and you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It can be used either in Mono or double pram pushchair mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are new is the side-by-side arrangement, in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is smaller 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 also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, designed for twins, into a Jogger. Both kids are facing towards the front. This lets you keep pace with your running partner, while keeping the kids happy.

In general twin pushchairs can be a bit heavier than single pushchairs because they come with extra features, such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You may also find they weigh a bit more than a single to double buggy stroller and you'll need buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers in order to protect your twins.

Verifying the quality of a twin pushchair is as important as ensuring that it's within your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and offer specific information on their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for money. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events to speak to other parents about their experience and recommendations.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage storage basket as well as numerous compartments and pockets to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a baby and toddler, plus has room to add the 'PiggyBack' board for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons included (PS59 each). Because of the new design, you can attach the cocoons facing either way or backwards. It also has a handy folding design that can be stored between use.
