Buying a Twin Pushchair

When shopping for a twin pushchair, it is important to consider the various configurations available. The main options are twin double buggies as well as side-by-side double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry Twin buggy is loved by parents and will grow with your family. It starts life as one, but it can use two car seats or stroller carrycots in double mode.

Easy to manoeuvre

Whether you're taking twins out for a stroll or have a toddler and a baby at the same stage the double pushchair is an essential tool when it comes to keeping them content. Double buggys, also known as twin prams, as they are sometimes referred to, are available in a variety of configurations to suit all types of families. Some are side by side with others having an entrance and a back to accommodate small spaces. Some are also able to be converted into single prams for newborns when your little ones outgrow them, which makes them a good option for growing families.

Side-by-side twin buggies (or tandem twin buggies) are easy to steer as their front wheels can be locked in place for extra stability, and there is generally more storage space behind them. They are also smaller than other twin buggies and are easier to maneuver through doors or on public transport. They're lighter than other twin prams, and can be more mobile, but you may find it harder to move them on kerbs or on rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach, which comes in a variety of colors and styles, is a chic twin pushchair that is available with a more streamlined design. It's also a fantastic twin stroller for babies and newborns, thanks to the cosy newborn cocoons, which make a comfortable, flat-floored space. It also has a small shopping basket but has an impressive suspension, so it's able to cope well on bumpy surfaces.

Many twin buggies are travel systems that include car seats that can attach 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 the pushchair. This can cause disturbance to them. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an example of twin pushchairs that can be used as a travel device, and it also has a nifty mode that allows parents to be in the same room with their babies.

Tandem twin buggies on the other hand, are usually designed for children of similar age and are more likely to provide a seat unit for each child. They're less likely to have carrycots specifically for infants and are generally larger than single buggies. They are still easily moveable, but most have an independent seat recline, so both kids can sit up straight or lie in a snooze position.

Folding is easy

If you're considering buying a double pushchair, you'll likely want it to be easy to fold. This will allow you to move the buggy from one location to another and also allow you to store it in a smaller area. Many brands offer a range of ways to fold the pushchair, so you'll be able to find one that suits your needs. Some models come with an adjustable shoulder strap, making it easier to carry.

Most twin pushchairs are foldable with one hand, but it is important to confirm before you buy that yours can do this. Some of the most popular models can fold with the seat removed, making them even smaller. This can be particularly helpful in the case of a lack of storage space.

Another thing to look out for is whether or not your twin pushchair is capable of fitting through standard doorways. It's important to measure the size of your door prior to buying a tandem buggies. If this is an issue, there are slimmer models available that are designed to be easier to get through doorways.
