10 Meetups About Twin Pushchairs You Should Attend

Buying a Twin Pushchair

It's important to consider the various configurations when you are looking for a double pushchair. The main options are a tandem double buggy 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 a double by adding two carrycots or a car seats.

Easy to Manoeuvre

If you're taking twins for a stroll, or have a baby pram and toddler at the same time, a double pushchair is a lifesaver when it comes to keeping them happy. Double buggys, also known as twin prams as they're sometimes called, come in a variety of designs to accommodate all types of families. Some are side-byside, while others have a front and other back for narrow spaces. Some can also be converted into single prams when your children outgrow them, making them an ideal option for growing families.

They are less difficult to steer than tandem twin buggies, as the front wheels can be locked for additional stability. There's also more storage behind them. They are also smaller than other twin buggies, and easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. They tend to be lighter than other twin prams, and can be more portable too however you may find them harder to get up and down kerbs or on uneven terrain.

The iCandy Peach, which comes in a range of colors and is a stylish twin pushchair with a more streamlined design. It's also a great twin pram for infants and newborns due to its cozy newborn cocoons that create an enclosed space to lie flat. It also has a small shopping basket but has impressive suspension, so it's able to cope well on bumpy surfaces.

A lot of twin buggies can be used for travel systems, which means they have car seats that can be attached to the frame. This is useful when travelling with toddlers and babies, as you don't need to transfer them from their car to the pushchair. This could disturb them. The UPPAbaby vista 2 is a twin-pushchair that can also be used as travel system. It has a parent-facing mode, which is perfect for babies.

Tandem twin buggies, on other hand, are typically designed for children of similar ages. They are more likely to offer a seat unit for each child. They are less likely to include carrycots for babies less than six months and tend to be larger than single buggies. They're still easily maneuverable, but many have independent seat recline, so both children can sit upright or be in a snooze-position.

Easy to fold

If you're purchasing a double pushchair, you'll probably need it to fold. This will make it easier for you to transport the buggy from one place to another and also allow you to store it in a smaller area. Many brands offer a range of ways to fold the pushchair, so you can find one that suits your needs. Some models include a strap for the shoulder that makes it easier to carry.

Before you purchase, make sure the model you are buying can be folded with one hand. Some of the most popular models can be folded by removing the seat, making them even smaller. This is especially helpful when you are limited in storage space.

A twin pushchair that's too wide might not fit through doors of standard size. It is important to determine the size of your door prior to purchasing twin buggies. There are smaller models that can be used to fit through doors that are narrower If this is the case.

UPPAbaby Vista won our lab tests for its compactness and the ease of folding when not in use. It can accommodate two infant car seats and two toddler seats. This makes it an ideal choice for families that are growing. It has a large storage basket and rubber tires that have foam fillings that won't flatten.

It's cheaper than some of the other models we tested, and it's ideal for twins or babies with similar age. It can be used in conjunction with an incredibly comfortable carrycot as well as an infant seat, and it can even accommodate three kids with the addition of UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board (sold separately).

If you're looking for a budget-friendly double stroller, take a look at the Chicco Cortina Together. It can accommodate two Chicco infant car seats which makes it suitable for twins. It also has a large storage basket and an easy-to-use brakes and handlebar.

Easy to store

It's important to know that not all double buggies need to be bulky, large and difficult-to-store. In fact there are a lot of models that are designed to be small and manageable when folded. This allows them to be compact and make it easier to get into and out of a 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 light frame and four-wheel suspension, making it easy to handle rough terrain. With the addition of an "piggyback board," it can be used to carry twins or a baby and toddler.

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 may leave access blocked by a child's legs. Look for generous baskets, pockets and compartments that can accommodate everything from snacks and toys to sun cream and rain cover.

You should also consider the type of add-ons available. Some twin pushchairs come with an array of accessories that are useful including drink holders for your young ones to snack trays for older children. Look for models with these features, along with an integrated sun canopy, raincover and hood.

Many twin pushchairs convert into an entire travel system that can accommodate families that are growing. They come with the possibility of incorporating the option of a car seat, buggy seat or carrycot. This is particularly beneficial for toddlers and newborns because it guarantees that they're safe, comfy and prepared for any adventure. The egg2 is a very popular choice for this, due to its sleek design and versatility, although it's a bit heavier than its competitors.

If you're on a tight budget, there are plenty of great options for less than PS200. The iCandy Pegasus 2 is a excellent choice, thanks to its large basket and easy access storage in all seating positions. It also comes with a cushioned leg support and a rain cover.

Easy to transport

If you intend to utilize your twin buggy a lot for long-distance outings with your family or trips around town then it's worth investing in a model that folds down to a size that is small enough to be able to be carried in a car boot or the trunk of a rental car. A compact, easy-to-manage design is also helpful for navigating narrow doors and aisles in public transportation.

There are models which fold with seats removed to make more compact storage. These are ideal for use at home. Also, you should be aware of the weight of the double buggy. Heavier buggies are more difficult to maneuver and may have trouble getting up or down kerbs.

Some twin pushchairs can hold up to two carrycots (and sometimes a third) and are designed to be used in a side-by-side configuration. They can also be used for children who are similar age or for siblings that have a very small age gap. The brilliant Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo, with its reversible seats allows the children to face each other or you. It also comes with various other configurations that are suitable for infants to toddlers.

A twin pushchair can be an ideal option for families living near public transportation routes since it is usually simpler to hop on and off trains, buses, or trams. It's great for cities and towns with large numbers of people, bustling streets, or shopping centers.

If you're seeking an oversized twin pushchair that will let you take off and onto public transport with ease We recommend an UPPAbaby model. Vista 2 - a sleek and stylish city buggy that is able to be used with two infants in the included newborn cocoons or with one baby and one older child due to its clever'sidepack' (available separately for PS45). It also has an additional seat that is attached to the frame's back and can be positioned to face either way. You can add a piggyback (also available separately for the price of PS120) which means you can take three children on longer journeys.
