Ten Things You've Learned In Kindergarden To Help You Get Started With Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with similar age, a twin pushchair can be a good option. They offer two spaces for your infants to travel and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants, and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with easy-to-use push handles and a GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cups and a snack tray for parents and kids are also beneficial.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred method of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling fights over which side to sit in. It's also a great option for places like the Zoo, where both children are able to easily see each their fellow. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, but they also are wider and longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs, but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families that are expecting more than one child, and it means that you won't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins who are in their early months, as they will need to be the same weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be utilized in double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel, so it can also be used for off-road trails. It is heavier than other models, but it has added durability.

It can also be outfitted with a toddler's seat, making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your children get older. The frame starts as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors attached to it to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or a car seat. These models are typically larger than the regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are more maneuverable between kerbs.
