Twin Pushchair: It's Not As Difficult As You Think

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect option for families with two kids or children with similar ages. They offer two spaces to carry your children and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for newborns, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to-use push handles and a GIANT storage basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack trays for parents and kids are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each the 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 also works well for trips to places like the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandems can be larger than single buggy however they are generally more spacious and can feel longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child.

However, it might not be a good option for twin babies in the beginning, as they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in single or double mode and accommodates two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel forward wheel, so it can also be used on off-road trails. It's a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight brings an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double stroller sale jogger is a great choice for either the main compartment, or with a handy double pram pushchair kit that attaches to the existing single seat. It has one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers we have tested. It's also compatible with a variety of car seats.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a a major impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair.

Take into consideration your lifestyle when you choose a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they come with additional features, such as bigger baskets and cushioned seats. It is also possible that they're a bit more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair and you might need to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to shield your twins from the elements.

Examining the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring that it fits your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value, look for brands who have a strong focus on sustainability and provide detailed details about their manufacturing methods.
