Buying a Twin Pushchair

When you are looking for a twin pushchair it is important to consider the various configurations that are available. The most popular options are a tandem double buggy and side-by-side double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry twin buggy is an absolute hit with parents and will expand with your family. It is one-person buggy that is able to be converted to double by adding two carrycots or car seat.

Easy to Manoeuvre

Whether you're taking twins out for a walk or have a toddler and a baby at the same time the double pushchair is a lifesaver in keeping them happy. Double buggys, also known as twin cheap prams as they're sometimes called, come in a variety of configurations to suit all types of families. Some are side-by-side, while others have one front and the back to accommodate narrow spaces. Some can be converted to single prams after your children have outgrown them. This makes them an ideal choice for families with growing children.

Side-by-side twin buggies (or tandem twin buggies) are easy to steer as their front wheels are able to be locked in place for added stability, and there's usually more storage space behind them. They are also smaller than other twin buggies and are easier to maneuver through doorways or on public transport. They are lighter than other twin prams, and can be more stroller compact, however you might find it difficult to maneuver them on kerbs or on rough terrain.

If you're looking for a more streamlined twin pushchair, the iCandy Peach is a stylish option that comes in a variety of colours. It's also a fantastic twin stroller for babies and newborns due to the cozy newborn cocoons that provide a slumber-free, enclosed space. It also has a small shopping basket but has an impressive suspension, so it can cope well on bumpy surfaces.

Many twin buggies are able to be used as travel systems, which means they come with car seats that can be connected to the frame. This is useful when travelling with toddlers and babies since you don't have to transfer them from their car to the pushchair. This could cause them to be disturbed. The UPPaby Vista 2 is a twin-pushchair that can also be used as an e-travel system. It comes with a parent-facing mode that is ideal for infants.

Tandem twin buggies were designed for children with similar ages. They are more likely to have an individual seat for each child. They are less likely to have carrycots for babies younger than six months old, and tend to be wider than single buggies. They can still be easily moved, however they are often equipped with an recline seats that are independent to allow both children to sit up or recline to snooze.

Easy to fold

If you're considering buying a double pushchair, then you'll want it to bigned to be slim and easily foldable. This makes them easier to be compact and make it easier to get into and out of cars.

Some twin pushchairs are also light, making them a breeze to transport and use with busses, trains and shopping aisles. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a excellent example, with its lightweight frame and four-wheel suspension, making it easy to handle rough terrain. It can also be used to carry twins (or one baby and toddler) with the addition of the 'piggyback' board.

It is important to determine if the storage space is accessible even when both seats are in use. Some side-byside configurations are tricky. The 'one above and one below' tandem can also hinder access by a child’s legs. Find large baskets, pockets and compartments to store everything from sun cream and raincovers to toys and snacks.

You should also consider the kind of accessories available. Some twin pushchairs have a variety of useful extras, such as drink holders for your little ones, or snack trays for the older children. It's a good idea to look for a model with these features as well as an integrated sun canopy, rain cover and an hood to keep your young children safe.

Many twin pushchairs can be converted into an entire travel system that can accommodate families that are growing. They offer the option of adding the option of a car seat, buggy seat or carrycot. This is particularly beneficial for newborns and toddlers since it guarantees they're secure, comfortable and ready for every adventure. The egg2 is a favorite due to its sleek design and its versatility. However, it could be heavier than its competitors.

If you're on a tight budget there are some great options that cost less than PS200. The iCandy Pegasus 2 is a fantastic choice with its large basket and easy access storage for all seating positions. It also comes with a cushioned leg support and a rain cover.

Easy to transport

If you plan to use your twin buggy a lot for long-distance outings with your family or trips around town, then it's worth investing in an option that folds small enough for easy transport in a car boot or in the trunk of a car you hire. A compact and easy-to-manage design will also make it easier to negotiate narrow doors and aisles on public transport.

There are models which fold with seats removed to make even more compact storage. They are best used at home. Also, you should consider the weight of the double buggy. Heavier buggies are more difficult to maneuver and might be difficult to maneuver up or down kerbs.

Most twin pushchairs have fixed side-by-side designs, with some that can accommodate two carrycots or seat units (and sometimes a third). Some twin pushchairs can be used by single children with an age difference of less than two years or siblings. The brilliant Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo is an excellent example of this with convertible seats that let the children sit facing each other or you as well as a range of other designs that are suitable from birth to toddlerhood.

A twin pushchair is a convenient choice for families living close to public transport routes as it's generally simpler to take and get off trains, buses or trams. It's also good for busy cities and towns where you'll be navigating lots of people and shopping centres, Triple Pram as well as streets.
