10 Twin Pushchairs Meetups You Should Attend

Buying a Twin Pushchair

When looking for a twin pushchair, it's important to think about the different configurations available. The two main options are tandem double buggies and side-by-side double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry Twin buggy is a favorite among parents and will develop with your family. It is an individual buggy that is able to be converted to double by adding two carrycots, or a car seat.

Easy to Manoeuvre

Whether you're taking twins out for a stroll or have a baby and toddler at the same age, a double pushchair is an essential tool when it comes to keeping them content. Double buggys, or twin prams as they're often referred to, come in a variety of designs to suit all types of families. Some are side-by-side, while others have one front and the back to accommodate narrow spaces. Some can be converted into single prams when your little ones grow out of them, making them an ideal choice for families with growing children.

They are more maneuverable than tandem twin buggies, since the front wheels can be locked for additional stability. There is also more storage space behind them. They are also smaller than other twin buggies and more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. They are generally lighter than other twin prams, so can be more portable too However, you may be unable to maneuver them up and down kerbs or on uneven terrain.

If you're looking for a sleeker, more streamlined twin pushchair sale, the iCandy Peach is a stylish choice that's available in a variety of colors. It's also a fantastic twin pram for infants and newborns, thanks to its cosy newborn cocoons that provide an enclosed, flat space. It also has a tiny shopping basket but has an impressive suspension, so it's able to take on bumpy surfaces.

Many twin buggies are travel systems that have car seats that can be attached to the frame. This is useful when travelling with babies and toddlers since you don't have to move them from their car to their pushchair. This could cause them to be disturbed. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a good example of twin pushchairs that can be used as a travel system, and it also comes with a handy mode that allows parents to be in the same room with their babies.

Tandem twin buggies on the other hand, are usually designed for children of similar ages and are more likely to offer a seat unit for each child. They are less likely to include carrycots for babies younger than six months and tend to be larger than single buggies. They're still maneuverable, however many come with an recline that is independent, meaning both kids can sit up straight or lie in a snooze position.

Folding is easy

You'll want your double pushchair to fold easily if you're going to buy it. This will allow you to move the buggy from one location to another, and will allow you to store it in a smaller space. The majority of brands offer a variety of different ways to fold the pushchair so you'll be able choose one that best suits your requirements. Some models come with a shoulder strap that makes it easier to carry.

Check before you buy if yours can be folded using one hand. A few of the top models can be folded with the seat removed, which makes them smaller. This is particularly useful if you have limited storage space.

Another thing to be on the lookout for is whether or not your twin pushchair is able to fit through standard doors. The larger width of tandem buggies can be a problem therefore it is important to determine the width of your doors before you purchase. There are smaller models that are designed to fit into narrower doorways If this is the case.

UPPAbaby Vista won our lab tests for its compactness and ease of folding when not in use. It can accommodate two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats, so it's an excellent choice for families that are growing. It has a huge storage basket and rubber tires that have foam fillings that won't flatten.

It's more affordable than other models we've tested, and it's an excellent choice for twins or babies with similar age. It can be used with both an incredibly comfortable carrycot as well as a seat unit, and it can even accommodate three kids by incorporating UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board (sold separately).

If you're looking for a budget-friendly dual stroller, check out the Chicco Cortina Together. It can accommodate two Chicco infant car seats, so it is suitable for twins. It comes with a large storage basket, a simple to use handlebar, and brakes.

Easy to store

It's good to be aware that not all double buggies need to be bulky, large and difficult to store. There are a variety of models that are designed to ensure they are small and manageable. This will allow them to be smaller in size and make it easier to get into and out of the vehicle.

Some twin pushchairs are also light which makes them easy to transport and handle busses, trains and shopping aisles. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a excellent example, with its lightweight frame and four-wheel suspension, making it easy to maneuver over rough terrain. It can also be used to carry twins (or one baby and toddler) by adding the 'piggyback' board.

It's worth checking if the storage space remains accessible even when both seats are in use. Certain side-by-side configurations can be a challenge and the 'one above, one below' style of tandem could make access difficult due to child's legs. Look for generous compartments, baskets, and pockets that can hold everything from toys and snacks to sunscreen and rain covers.

Think about the add-ons available. Some twin pushchairs include a variety of useful extras like drink holders for the younger ones, or snack trays for the older children. Look for models that have these features, as well as an integrated sun canopy, raincover and hood.

Many twin pushchairs can be transformed into an ideal travel system for families with children, and include the option of adding a buggy seat, carrycot and car seat. This is especially useful for toddlers and infants since it ensures that they are comfortable, safe and ready for any adventure. The egg2 is a popular choice with its sleek styling and flexibility, though it is a little heavier than some rivals.

If you're on a budget there are some great options that cost less than PS200. The iCandy Pegasus 2 with its large basket and easy access storage in all seating positions is an excellent alternative. It also comes with a cushioned leg support as well as a rain cover.

Easy to transport

If you intend to use your twin buggy on long-distance family trips and city tours, it's worth investing into a model which can fold down to fit into the trunk or in the rental car. A slim, manageable design is also useful for the narrow aisles and doors in public transportation.

You can find models which fold with the seats detached for even more compact storage, although these are typically best left for home use. Also, you should take into consideration the weight of a double buggy. The heavier buggies are difficult to maneuver and could be difficult to maneuver up or down kerbs.

Most twin pushchairs have fixed side-by-side designs, and some 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 siblings. The enthralling Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo, with its reversible seats, lets the children face one another, or you. It also comes with a variety of other configurations that are suitable for newborns through toddlers.

A twin pushchair is an ideal choice for families living close to public transportation routes since it's generally simpler to get on and off trains, buses, or trams. It's also good for busy towns and cities where you'll have to navigate a lot of people in shopping centres, streets or even the streets.

If you're looking for an oversized twin pushchair that will allow you to take off and onto public transport with ease We recommend a model such as the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - a sleek and stylish city buggy that can be used with two infants in the included newborn cocoons or with one baby and an older child thanks to its clever'sidepack' (available separately for PS45). The second seat is connected to the frame at the back and can be used in any direction. You can even add a piggyback board (also available separately for the price of PS120) to allow three kids to join you for longer excursions.
