Which Twin Pushchairs Are Right For Your Family?

Whether you have twins or your children are similar in age, a double pushchair will help you get them from one place to the other safely and easily. Some of the models in this line such as the iCandy Wave, start life as single buggies but can be converted into double mode as your family grows.

Side-by-side buggies

If you have two children of similar ages who will be sharing the same twin buggy from birth pushchair, then a side-byside model is likely to suit your needs best. Also known as a duo buggy or tandem pushchair, these models typically have various seating options, so it is easy to move from one child to the next, depending on their age and requirements. These models are great for siblings and twins who are close to each other in the same age. They can sit close to one another instead of facing each other, allowing them to feel more connected.

They are often smaller than you think, so they are an excellent choice for those who don't want their double stroller too bulky. Look out for a stylish yet manageable design that is easily moved and folded away, as well as plenty of storage space for all your belongings. A good-sized shopping bag is also essential and you'll want to make sure that the seats have recline positions and all the features you need to keep your children comfortable like headrests, footrests and canopies.

It's also important to know how much the double buggy weighs, especially if you're carrying toddlers or infants and their car seat(s) or carrycot(s). It's worth noting that many double buggies are available in side-by-side or tandem modes and it's crucial to check which configuration is suitable for your family before you purchase.

A popular choice for parents is the Egg2 twin pushchair, adored for its sleek style and its versatility. It can be used as a one-person pushchair or as a tandem and has options for both rear and front seats (including a lie-flat carrycot and infant seat) which allows you to easily move from one child another. It is simple to use and comes with an array of colors so you can choose the right style for your child. Unlike many other brands, it comes with tray for the child and the parent to store snacks and drinks - ideal to keep your children entertained.

Tandem buggies

A tandem pushchair is a great option if you are expecting twins or have two children who are similar in age. In contrast to twin prams or double buggies with kids sitting side-by-side, a tandem has one seat behind the other and has a more compact design. It is simpler to navigate narrow paths such as supermarket aisles and public transport. It can also take up less room in the boot of your car.

A tandem buggy of good quality is safe and comfortable for your children. It should have a sturdy chassis and safety harnesses which can be adjusted to ensure that your child develops with it. Both seats should also have plenty of padding. The most effective models also have recline positions that allow you to lie or sit down based on your preference and a protective canopy that can be extended over the front seat.

A buggy that folds with seats firmly attached is an important feature. Some models fold without the second hand double buggy seat, which will allow you to save space if you are short on storage. You'll also find some have straps for the shoulders that are easy to pick up when you're in a hurry.

The Joolz Geo 3 is a great option. It can be used for a single or double stroller, and it converts into a carrycot and toddler seat for infants and a child-carrier board for older siblings. This allows the younger child to sit in front of the parent for a more engaging ride, while the older sibling can enjoy the view from the rear. It's a stylish, versatile twin pushchair that's well-suited to urban life and can handle rough terrain, so it will grow with your family.

Cybex, another brand that is known for innovation, has a Jupiter model that is sleek and lightweight. It can be used either as a single or a double buggy, and can accommodate infants in a separate cocoon, and a toddler who can use a reversible chair. This allows your baby to ride in a flat secure and safe space while the older sibling can enjoy the sights.

Single-to-stokke double stroller buggies

If you're a parent of twins and searching for a twin pushchair to expand with your family, you can go for a single-to-double pushchair. These models come with an adaptable frame that lets you add a second seat or carrycot. They're typically narrower than side-by-side twin buggy models, making them easier to navigate through doors and on public transport. They can be less stable in rough terrain, and they can take up more room in the car's boot than tandem models.

This type of design is best illustrated by the well-known egg2 single to double pushchair. It's sleek as a single, yet it comes with a variety of configurations as a double. This includes infant seats and carrycots. This model doesn't allow siblings to face the parent. If you want your children to be close and have plenty of time to talk while on the move A larger tandem is the best choice.

You can also purchase single-to-double buggy that converts to single buggies equipped with a travel system that can fit either one or two car seats. These types of models are great if you're planning to use your own car seat and you don't mind swapping them in and out whenever you need to. They're also a great option for those who aren't sure when your twins will need an infant stroller and you'd like the option to extend your investment with an infant seat when the time comes.

Certain brands have defied trend and have created side-byside buggies that are single-to-double. They include the Bugaboo Donkey or the Leclerc Influencer. The Bugaboo Donkey is a practical elegant design that allows you to add a second seat or carrycot without tools required. It can also fold flat for easy storage. This compact model can be tucked away in most narrow entranceways and smaller shops. It's a stylish device that expands with one click, and can be fitted with a second seat, or carrycot within less than a minute. It is a little longer than the other models, and might not be suitable for narrow passageways.

Carrycots

A carrycot is a great place to nap and take a break from your baby when you're out and out and about. Carrycots are not only cosy and comfy, but they also feature high sidewalls that protect your baby's delicate skin from the elements of rain, wind and sun. In fact, some of the best twin strollers include the carrycot in their bundle.

Most carrycots are designed to be used outdoors, in contrast to Moses baskets, which are designed only for indoor use. However, you must check the manufacturer's guidelines before going for a stroll. It is also important to keep in mind that your child will eventually outgrow the carrycot, so choose one that has a weight limit of 9 kg or more.

If you are looking for a twin-stroller with carrycot that meets European standards, be sure it's ventilated and flammable. It should also be light and have a compact footprint that makes it easy to store in the car. Look for a car seat with an ample storage basket underneath the seat, which can accommodate up 22 pounds of gear. This will give you plenty of room to store all the essentials for your baby, such as an oversized shopping basket and changing mat.

The iCandy Peach is a good choice for parents looking for an attractive and practical double pushchair that comes with an excellent carrycot. The latest generation of this model comes with an upgraded carrycot that's ideal for overnight sleeping. It is also easy to fold, and comes in a variety of colours.

Apart from the high-end fabrics, Cher said that she was impressed by the iCandy's clever one-handed fold. She also loved the soft cushioning and fleece-lined footmuff, which will keep her child warm. She also appreciated that the iCandy can accommodate a toddler's seat at the base, which makes it perfect for families who are planning on traveling together for the next few years.

If your baby is crying in their baby carrier, it's probably because they want to get up. They may also be frustrated because they can't be able to see their parents or surroundings. If this happens, convert the pushchair as quickly as you can into a stroller.
