What to Look For in a Twin Strollers For Newborns Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair can be a good option. They have two places for your infants to travel and are usually equipped with cosy carrycots or seats for newborns, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

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

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 fight over who gets the seat they prefer. It also works well when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs and then 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. You won't have to purchase a brand new buggy when your older child is no longer using it. However, it may not be a good option for twin babies in the beginning, as they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger which can be used in a double jogging stroller or single mode and can accommodate two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and air-filled tyres so it can cope with off-road trails too. It is heavier than other models however it offers durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger is a great choice for either the main compartment or with a handy sit n stand double stroller kit that is attached to the existing single seat. With one swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.

This stroller is narrow and single-to-double. It is perfect for urban excursions due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It comes with a UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat for both children to enjoy the view. This model does not have recline built-in however, it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants or newborns. It can also accommodate an infant seat, making it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the design of your pushchair as your children grow. It starts out as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that connect to the frame for a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models, but they can fit through doors and are more suited to navigate on kerbs. They also let you use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots side-byside which is ideal for siblings of different age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations that include carrycots, and car seats. The Peach 7 from iCandy is a fantastic model of a double jogging stroller buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways with car seats, chairs and carrycots. In addition, the smart and simple recline lever that is one-handed located at the back of the unit makes it easy to get your child in an upright position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It comes with removable seats that can be set to face either way, which makes it suitable for twins of any age. It also can accommodate an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board, which attaches to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a major impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. You should consider various options that permit you to change the direction that your child's seat is facing based on their mood, circumstances or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 twin pushchairs is an example of a product that is extremely adaptable. It has a reversible seats and bassinets, that allow siblings to be facing each other, you, or a new adventure. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used either in Mono or strollers double strollers mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement where one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is smaller than a standard pushchair, and can be maneuvered through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations so that you can choose the perfect set-up for your family, and it can also accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, which is made for twins, to a running jogger. Both kids will face towards the forward direction. This lets you keep pace with your running partner while keeping your children happy.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they have additional features, such as larger baskets and extra cushioned seats. It is possible that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller, and you'll need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is as important as making sure it's within your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money you can choose a brand that have a strong focus on sustainability and offer detailed details about their manufacturing methods. You can also gain valuable insight into the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or at local events to speak to other parents about their experience and suggestions.

Storage

You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins, so make sure you have a large undercarriage basket with plenty of compartments or pockets to stash your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' board (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Because of the new design, you can attach the cocoons with either a either direction, or reverse. It comes with a convenient standing fold that makes it easy to store between use.
