Buying a Twin Pushchair

It is crucial to consider the different configurations when shopping for a double pushchair. The two most popular options are tandem double buggies and side-byside double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry twin buggy is a real favourite with parents and will expand with your family. It is an individual buggy that can be converted to double by adding two carrycots or a car seat.

Easy to manoeuvre

A double pushchair can be lifesaving for families with twins, or a baby and toddler. Double buggys, or twin prams, as they are sometimes referred to, are available in a variety of configurations to fit all kinds of families. Some are side-by-side with others having two fronts and a rear for smaller spaces. Some can be transformed into single prams once your children grow out of them, making them an ideal choice for families that are growing.

They are more maneuverable than tandem twin buggies because the front wheels can be locked for additional stability. There's also more storage behind them. They are also smaller than some other twin buggies, so they are more convenient to maneuver through doors and on public transport. They are generally lighter than other twin prams and they are more mobile too, although you might encounter difficulties getting up and down kerbs or on uneven terrain.

The iCandy Peach, which comes in a variety of colors and styles, is a chic twin pushchair with a more sleek design. It's also a great twin pram for infants and newborns thanks to its cosy newborn cocoons that provide an enclosed, flat space. It has a small basket and has an impressive suspension to be able to handle bumpy surfaces.

Many twin buggies are travel systems with car seats that can attach to the frame. This is a great option for travelling with young babies and toddlers since you don't have to move them from the car to the pushchair which could cause disturbance to them. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an example of a twin pushchair that can be used as a travel system and it has a nifty baby-facing mode for infants.

Tandem twin buggies, on the contrary, are generally designed for children of similar ages. They are more likely to provide an individual seat for each child. They're less likely to include carrycots for babies, and are typically larger than single buggies. They can still be easily manoeuvred, though, and many have independent seat recline to allow both children to sit up or recline to snooze.

folding stroller is easy

If you're buying a double pushchair, you'll probably want it to be simple to fold. This will make it simple to move the buggy around and also put it away in smaller spaces. There are several ways to fold your pushchair. Some models even come with a handy shoulder strap to help you to carry.

Most twin pushchairs are foldable using just one hand, however it is worth checking before purchasing that yours will do this. Some of the most popular models can fold down with the seat removed and make them smaller. This is particularly useful in the case of a lack of storage space.

A twin pushchair that's too wide might not fit through standard doors. It is important to determine the dimensions of your door prior to purchasing twin buggies. If this is the case, there are slimmer models out there that are designed to be easier to maneuver through doorways.

Some twin pushchairs are also lightweight, making them a breeze to transport and cope with trains, buses, and shopping aisles.

With the addition of a "piggyback board," it can carry twins or a toddler and a baby.

Most twin-buggy models offer plenty of storage space, but it's worth checking whether this is still accessible when both seats are in use. Certain side-by-side configurations can be a challenge, and the "one above, one below' style of tandem may hinder access due to child's legs. Look for large baskets, pockets, and compartments for everything from sun cream and raincovers to toys and snacks.

You should also consider the kind of accessories available. Certain twin pushchairs come with various useful features like drink holders for the younger children or snack tray for the older children. It's a good idea to look for a model that has these features as along with a built-in sun canopy as well as a rain cover and the hood to keep your little children safe.

A compact and easy-to-manage design will also make it easier to navigate narrow aisles and doors on public transport.

There are models which fold with the seats detached for even smaller storage space, but these are typically best used at home. Also, you should take into consideration the weight of a double buggy. The heavier buggies are difficult to maneuver and might be unable to get up and down kerbs.

Most twin pushchairs have fixed side-by-side designs, with some that can be able to accommodate two carrycots or seat units (and sometimes a third). Some twin pushchairs are suitable for single children with a gap of less than two years or siblings. The enthralling Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo is a great example of this and features convertible seats that let the kids face either one another or you as well as different designs that are suitable from the time of birth until toddlerhood.
