Five People You Should Know In The Twin Pushchair Industry

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with similar age, a twin pushchair could be a great choice. They provide two spaces for your infants and usually come with comfortable carrycots for newborns as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with easy-to-use push handles and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack trays for parents and kids are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing the children to look at each the other. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling rivalries over who is sitting where. It is also a good option for places like the Zoo, where both children can easily see each other. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies. However, they are also more spacious and longer when they are being pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it may not be the best option for twins in the beginning, since they'll have to be of similar age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger which can be used in a double or single mode and has two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward steering wheel which means it can be used on trails that are off-road. It is heavier than other alternatives, but it has added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the main compartment, or with a nifty double kit that is attached to the existing single seat. With one swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than many other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats as well.

This model does not have an integrated recline however, it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for infants or newborns.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your kids grow. It starts out as a single pram with adaptors that can be attached to the frame to add a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models however, they are able to fit through doors and are easier to maneuver on the kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers in tandem which is ideal for siblings.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than their single counterparts because they come with additional features like larger baskets and extra-padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You may also find they weigh a bit more than a single stroller and you'll need to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins.
