The 10 Most Scariest Things About Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal option for families with two babies or children with similar ages. They offer two spaces to transport your little ones, and usually come with comfy carrycots or chairs for infants as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred style for some parents who feel it less likely to cause sibling squabbles over who is sitting where. It also works well for trips to places like the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, but they also are larger and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies begin as a single to double pushchair pushchair but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won't have to buy a brand new buggy when your older child is no longer using it. It's not the best choice for twins in the early years, as they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that allows you to alter the configuration as your children get older. It starts out as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that attach to the frame to allow for a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These models are typically wider than a typical buggy, but are able to fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. They also let you use a toddler car seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots that are side-by-side, which works well for siblings of varying age.

In general twin pushchairs can be a bit heavier than single pushchairs because they have extra features, such as bigger baskets and padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this kind of stroller. It is also possible that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair, and you may need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

It's equally important to assess the quality of a double pushchair as it is to make sure it's in line with your budget and lifestyle.
