Which Twin Pushchairs Are Right For Your Family?

If you have twins or your children are close in age, a double pushchair can help you get them from A to B in safety and easily. Some models, like the iCandy Wave start out as single buggies, but can be converted to double buggies as your family grows.

Side-by-side buggies

If you have two kids with similar ages and ages who will share the same twin pushchair then a side-by-side model is probably the best. Also called a tandem or duo pushchair, these types of models usually offer various seating options, so it is easy to move from one child to the other depending on their age and requirements. These models are great for twins and siblings that are close to each other in age. They can be seated close to one another instead of facing each other, which makes them feel more included.

They are usually smaller than you would think which is why they are a great option for those who don't want their double stroller too bulky. Choose a model that is stylish and manageable, with plenty of storage space. A large shopping basket is also important. Also, ensure that the seats are equipped with recline positions as well having all the features to keep your children comfortable, such as canopies, headrests and footrests.

It's also important to know how much the double buggie weighs, especially when you have both a baby or toddler and their car seat(s) or carrycot(s).

Tandem buggies
