Which Twin Pushchairs Are Right For Your Family?

If you have twins or your children are close in age, a double stroller with car seat pushchair will help you get them from A to B in safety and effortlessly. Some models, such as the iCandy Wave start out as single buggies, but they can be transformed into double buggies as your family grows.

Side-by-side buggies

If you are planning to use a twin pushchair to accommodate two children of similar age, a side by side model is the best double stroller choice. These models are also referred to as tandem pushchairs or duo buggys. They come with a variety of seating configurations, so it is easy to switch from one child to another, depending on the age and requirements of each child. They are ideal for twins or siblings who are close in age since they can sit next to each other instead of facing each other, which can make them feel more comfortable and less like they are being confined to a pair of seats.

Side-by-side buggies are typically smaller than you'd think, and they're the perfect choice for those who don't want their brand new double stroller to be heavy or unpractical. Choose a sleek yet nimble design that can easily be folded and steered with plenty of useful storage space for all your belongings. A large shopping basket is a must too, and you'll want to ensure the seats offer recline positions as well as all the features needed to keep your kids comfortable like headrests, footrests, and canopy.

Make sure you know the weight of the double buggy, particularly if you have a baby/toddler and a car seat or carrycot. It's important to know that a lot of dual buggies come in either tandem or side-by-side configurations, so it's important to know which one is suitable for your family prior to making a purchase.

The Egg2 twin pushchair is a top choice for parents due to its sleek design and flexibility. It can be used as a single or as a tandem. It comes with options for both front and rear seats (including a lie-flat carrycot as well as an infant seat) so you can easily transition from one child to another. It's nimble and easy to use, plus it has an extensive color selection to ensure you find the perfect style for your children. Unlike many other brands, it has parent and child trays to store snacks and drinks which is ideal to keep your kids entertained.

Tandem buggies

If you're expecting twins, or two children close in age then a tandem pushchair could be the ideal choice. A tandem is smaller than twin prams and double buggies, which have two children sitting side by side. This makes it easier to maneuver and navigate narrow streets such as supermarket aisles, and public transport. It also means that it will take up less space in your car's boot.

A good quality tandem buggy is secure and comfortable for your kids. Make sure it has solid chassis, safety harnesses that can be adjusted to accommodate your children's growing needs and plenty of padding in both seats. The best models also have recline positions that allow you to lie down or sit down depending on your preference and an umbrella that can be extended over the front seat.

A buggy that folds with seats attached is a key feature. Some are able to fold with the second seat removed, which can help to keep it more compact if you're in a tight space for storage. Some come with shoulder straps that make them easier to pick up quickly.

The Joolz Geo 3 is a great option. It can be used for a single or double stroller, and can be converted into a toddler seat and carrycot for infants, as well as a child carrier board for older siblings. The child with the youngest can be facing the parent, which makes the ride more exciting. Meanwhile, the older sibling can enjoy the view from the rear. It's a versatile, stylish twin pushchair that's well-suited to urban living and can be able to handle rough terrain and will adapt to your family.

Cybex is another brand known for innovation and their Jupiter model takes the form of a sleek, light buggy that can be used a single or double and can accommodate the newborn in cocoon (sold separately) as well as a toddler in an convertible seat. This allows the smallest double buggy member of your family to ride in a fully-flat protected environment, while the larger sibling can look out at the sights.

Single-to-double buggies

If you're a parent of twins and are looking for a twin pushchair to grow with your family, you can opt for a single-to-double pushchair. These models have an adaptable frame that lets you add an additional seat or carrycot. They're typically narrower than side-by-side twin buggy models, which makes them easier to navigate through doorways and on public transportation. However, they're less stable on terrain that is rough and take up more space in your car boot than twin models.

The popular egg2 single-to-double pushchair is a good example of this design. It's sleek as a single and offers a wide range of configurations as a double, including both carrycot and infant seats. This model will not let siblings face the parent. If you want your children to be close and have plenty of time to talk while on the move A larger tandem is more suitable.

You can also buy single-to-double buggies that come with an integrated travel system that can accommodate one or two car seats. These kinds of buggies are ideal if you plan to use your car seat and do not want to swap them out and in as needed. They're also a good option if you're not sure how long your twins will need a pushchair and you'd like the option to buy a toddler seat when the time comes.

A couple of brands have defied the trend with side-by-side single-to-double buggies. These include the Bugaboo Donkey and the Leclerc Influencer. The former is a neat design that allows you to add an additional seat or carrycot without the need for tools and it can fold flat to make it easy to store. It's also a slimline model that is suitable for smaller shops and fit into most narrow entranceways. It's a stylish model that can be expanded with one click, and can be fitted with another seat, or carrycot, in less than a minute. It's slightly longer than some other models, it's not going to be ideal for narrow passageways.

Carrycots

A carrycot is a great place to nap and relax your child while you're out and out and about. Apart from being cozy and comfortable, they also have tall sidewalls that help shield your baby's sensitive skin from the wind and rain as well as the sun. Some of the best twin strollers come with an infant carrycot inside their bundle.

Most carrycots are made to be used outdoors, unlike Moses baskets that are designed only for indoor use. Be sure to read the manufacturer's guidelines before taking your child for an outing. Remember that your child will outgrow the stroller at the time, so make sure to choose one with a maximum limit of 9kg or more.

When you are looking for a twin stroller with carrycot, make sure you select a model that satisfies European standards for flammability and airflow. It should also be lightweight and have a small footprint, so it's easy to store in the car. Also, you should consider a model with a large under-seat storage basket that can hold up to 22 pounds of gear. This will provide plenty of space to store all your baby's essentials, including a shopping basket and changing mat.

The iCandy Peach double pushchair is an excellent option for parents seeking a stylish, practical double stroller that comes with a top-quality carrycot. The most recent version of this model comes with an upgraded carrycot that is suitable for sleeping at night. It's also easy to fold and comes in a variety of colours.

Aside from the high-quality fabrics, Cher said that she was impressed by the iCandy's clever one-handed fold. She also loved the soft cushioning and fleece-lined footmuff, which will keep her little one warm. She also appreciated the fact that the iCandy can accommodate a toddler's seat in the base. This makes it perfect for families who plan to travel together for a long time.

If your baby is crying in their carrycot it's because they're desperate to get up. They may also be upset because they don't have a view of their surroundings or their parents. If this is the case, you should convert the pushchair as soon as you can into a stroller.
