Buying a Twin Pushchair

It is important to think about the various configurations when you are looking for a double pushchair. The most popular options are twin double buggies as well as side-by-side double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry Twin buggy is loved by parents and will develop with your family. It is an individual buggy that can be converted into double by adding two carrycots or a car seat.

Easy to manoeuvre

If you're taking twins for a walk or have a toddler and baby at the same stage, a double pushchair is an essential tool when it comes to keeping them entertained. Double buggys, also known as twin prams as they're sometimes called, come in a variety of configurations to suit all types of families. Some are side-byside, while others have one front and the other back for narrow spaces. Some can be converted into single prams when your children outgrow them, which makes them an ideal option for families with growing children.

They are easier to steer than tandem twin buggies as the front wheels can be locked to provide additional stability. There is also more storage behind them. They are also smaller than other twin buggies. This means they're easier to navigate through doorways and on public transport. They tend to be lighter than other twin prams and they are more mobile too, although you might encounter difficulties getting to and from kerbs, or twin Stroller on uneven terrain.

The iCandy Peach, which comes in a range of colors, is a stylish twin pushchair that is available with a sleeker design.

Many twin buggies are able to be used as travel systems, meaning they come with car seats that can be attached to the frame. This is a great feature when traveling with toddlers and babies because you don't have to transfer them from their car to their pushchair. This can cause disturbance to them. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a good example of a twin pushchair that can be used as a travel system and it even has a nifty parent-facing mode for newborns.

Tandem twin buggies, on contrary, are generally designed for children of similar ages and tend to have an individual seat for each child. They're less likely to feature carrycots for babies, and are usually wider than single buggies. They're still maneuverable, however many come with an independent seat recline, so both kids can sit upright or in a snooze-position.

Easy to fold

You'll want your double pushchair to fold easily when you purchase it. This will allow you to move the lightweight stroller from one location to another, and will allow you to store it in a smaller space. Most brands offer a number of different ways to fold the pushchair, so you can find one that meets your requirements. Some models come with an adjustable shoulder strap, making it easier to carry.

Most twin pushchairs can fold using just one hand, however it is important to confirm before you buy that yours will do this. Some of the most popular models can fold by removing the seat, making them even smaller. This is especially helpful if you have limited storage space.

Another thing to look out for is whether or not your twin pushchair is suitable for use through standard doors. The wider width of most tandem buggies can sometimes be a problem therefore it is important to determine the width of your doors before you buy. If this is the case there are slimmer models available that are designed to be easier to maneuver through doorways.
