15 Gifts For The Twin Pushchair Lover In Your Life

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies with similar age, a twin pushchair will be a good option. They have two places to transport your little ones and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for newborns, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models that have easy-to-use push handles and the GIANT storage basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack tray for both kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children face each other. Some parents prefer this style since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over the seat they prefer. It also works well for visiting places like the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggys but they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs, but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to buy a brand new buggy after your older child is no longer using it. However, it may not be a good option for twins in the beginning as they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger that can be utilized in double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can handle off-road trails, too. It is heavier than other alternatives, but it has added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either seat in the main compartment or with a handy double kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. It features one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers that we have tested. It's also compatible with a variety of car seats.

This compact, single to double stroller is ideal for urban adventures. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It has an UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view from the front seat to let both children take in the view. The model doesn't have recline built-in, but it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for infants and newborns. It can also be equipped with a toddler seat, making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers the flexibility to allow you to alter the design of your pushchair as your kids grow. The frame begins as one pushchair but has adaptors attached to it to allow for the addition of a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models, but they can fit through doors and are much easier to navigate on the kerbs. They also allow you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots side-byside which is great for siblings of different age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations, including car seats and carrycots. The iCandy Peach 7 is a great example of a double pram and pushchair-buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways, with car seats, seats and carrycots. Additionally, the clever and simple one-handed recline lever located on the back of the unit makes it easy to help your child get into a lie-flat position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another example of a convertible twin stroller with seats that can be removed and can be configured to face forward or backward which makes it suitable for twins of all different ages. It also accommodates an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a major impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. Consider a variety of seating options to switch up the direction your children's seats based on their mood or the situation and also continue to use them as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely versatile. It comes with a reversible bassinet and seat configurations, which allow siblings to face each other, one another, or a new adventure. The clever frame can be extended to accommodate an extra seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode with a variety of accessories that are available for both configurations.

A popular option for parents who are just starting out is a side-by-side configuration, in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is narrower than a standard pushchair and can be pushed through doors and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance, offers over 20 configurations to choose the best set-up for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

If you want to take their twins jogging or for more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into a jogger with both kids facing towards the front. This lets you keep pace with your running companion while keeping your children happy.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than single pushchairs because they have extra features, such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before deciding on this kind of stroller. You may also find that they're a bit more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you may have to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.

It's equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair, as it's to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and offer specific information on their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the best value for money. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can provide valuable information about the best compact double stroller twin pushchairs.

Storage

You'll have to carry a lot of stuff for twins, so look for a spacious undercarriage basket and plenty of compartments or pockets to stash your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, it is possible to attach the cocoons with either a forward or backward. It features a handy standing fold that makes it simple to put away between usages.
