Which Twin Pushchairs Are Right For Your Family?

If you have twins or your children are of similar age, a double stroller will help you transport them safely and easily. Some of the models in this line, like the iCandy Wave, start life as single buggies but can be converted to double mode as your family grows.

Side-by-side buggies

If you have two children of similar ages that will be sharing the same twin pushchair then a side-by-side model will probably suit you best. Also called a duo buggy or tandem pushchair, these types of models usually offer different seating options so that you can easily transition from one child to another depending on their age and preferences. They are perfect for twins or siblings that are close in age as they can sit together rather than facing each other, which can make them feel more included and less like they are being forced into a pair of seats.

Side-by-side buggies tend to be slimmer than you'd think, and they're an ideal choice for those who don't want their new double stroller to be heavy or unpractical. Choose a sleek but manageable design that can easily be folded and steered, as well as plenty of useful storage space for all your belongings. A good-sized shopping bag is a must too and you'll need to ensure the seats offer recline positions, as well as the features you require to ensure your child's comfort including headrests, footrests and canopies.

You'll also want to check how much the double buggie weighs, especially if you're carrying a baby or toddler and their car seat(s) or carrycot(s). It's worth noting that many double buggies can be found in side-by-side or tandem modes and it's crucial to determine which one is suitable for your family prior to making a purchase.

A popular choice for parents is the Egg2 twin pushchair, adored for its sleek style and versatile use. It can be used as a single unit or as a tandem, and comes with options for both rear and front seats (including the lie-flat carrycot and infant seat) making it easy to move from one child another. It's lightweight and user-friendly and comes with a huge colour range so you can find the right style for your children. It has an adult and child tray to store drinks and snacks that will keep children entertained.

Tandem buggies

If you're expecting twins, or two children close in age then a tandem pushchair is the ideal choice. A tandem is more compact than double prams or twin buggies, which have two children sitting side by side. It is easier to maneuver and navigate narrow pathways like supermarket aisles, and public transport. It also takes up less space in the boot of your car.

A good tandem buggy will be safe and comfortable for your children. Make sure that it has a sturdy chassis, safety harnesses that can be adjusted to grow with your kids and plenty of padding in both seats. The best models also have recline positions that allow you to lie down or sit down, based on your preference. Additionally, they have an umbrella that can be extended over the front seat.

Another key feature to consider is whether the buggy folds with the seats attached. Some are able to fold with the second seat removed, which could help to keep it smaller when you're short on storage space. You'll also find some have convenient shoulder straps, making them simple to get if you're in a hurry.

The Joolz Geo 3 is a excellent choice. It can be used as a double or single stroller, and can be converted into a carrycot and toddler seat for infants, as well as a child's carrier board for older siblings. The child with the youngest can be facing the parent, making the ride more exciting. While the older sibling can enjoy the view from the rear. It's a versatile, stylish twin pushchair that's suited to urban life and can be able to handle rough terrain so it will grow with your family.

Cybex is another brand known for its innovation, offers a Jupiter model that is sleek and light. It can be used either as a single or a double buggy and accommodates a newborn in an optional cocoon, and a toddler who can use a reversible chair. This allows the littlest member of your family to ride in a fully-flat and fully-protected space while the larger sibling can look out at the sights.

Single-to-double buggies

If you're the parent of twins and are looking for a twin pushchair to grow with your family, you can go for a single-to-double buggy with car seat pushchair. These models have an adaptable frame which allows you to add a second seat or carrycot. These models are typically narrower than twin buggy models that can be used in doors or on public transportation. However, they may be less stable on uneven terrain and take up more space in your car boot than twin models.

This type of design is best illustrated by the fad egg2 single to double stroller with infant car seat pushchair. It's sleek and stylish as a single, yet offers many configuration options as double. This includes infant seats and carrycots. It's worth remembering that this type of model doesn't allow siblings to be facing the parent therefore if you wish to keep your children close together and provide ample opportunities for interaction on the move then a larger tandem model will be better for you.

You can also purchase single-to-double buggies that come with an integrated travel system that can accommodate one or two car seats. These types of models are ideal if you plan to use your own car seat and you don't want to swap them in and out whenever you need to. They're also a great option if you're not sure when your twins will need an infant stroller and you'd prefer to be able to increase your investment by purchasing an infant seat when the time comes.

Certain brands have defied trend and have created side-byside buggies that are single-to-double. This includes the Bugaboo Donkey or the Leclerc Influencer. The Bugaboo Donkey is a practical and stylish design that allows you to add a seat or carrycot with no tools needed. It can also fold flat to make it easy to store. The slim model will fit in the majority of narrow entrances and smaller shops. It's a stylish model that can be expanded with one click and can accommodate another seat, or carrycot within less than one minute. It is slightly larger than other models and may not be suitable for narrow passageways.

Carrycots

A carrycot is the perfect place to take a nap and relax your baby while you are out and out and about. Carrycots aren't just cozy and comfy, but they also come with high sidewalls that protect your baby's delicate skin from wind, rain and sun. In fact, many of the top twin strollers come with a carrycot as part of their bundle.

Unlike Moses baskets, which are only intended for indoor use, the majority of carrycots can be used outdoors. But, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions prior to going for an excursion. It's also important to remember that your child will eventually outgrow the carrycot, so look for one with a weight limit of 9 kg or higher.

If you are looking for a twin-stroller and carrycot that is in line with European standards, be sure it's ventilated and flammable. It should also be lightweight and compact in size which makes it easy to store in your car. Also, you should consider a model with a large under-seat storage basket that can hold up to 22 pounds of gear. This will allow you to have enough space to store all the baby's necessities such as a changing mat and a shopping bag.

The iCandy Peach is a good option for parents who want a stylish and practical double pushchair, with a top-quality carrycot. The latest version of this model has a new carrycot that's suitable for sleep over the night. It's also easy to fold and is available in a variety of colors.

Aside from the high-quality fabrics, Cher said that she loved the iCandy's simple one-handed fold. She also appreciated the soft padding and a fleece-lined footmuff for the carrycot that will keep her baby warm. She also liked the fact that the iCandy can accommodate a toddler's seat at the base, making it ideal for families who are planning on traveling together for the next few years.

If your baby is crying in their baby carrier, it's because they're desperate to get up. They might also be upset that they cannot see their parents or the surroundings. If this happens then you must change the pushchair into a stroller as soon as you can.
