Finding the Best Twin Pushchair
If you have twins, or a toddler and baby, choosing the right twin pushchair is essential to keep them at ease on your journeys. These pushchairs are light and easy to set-up, with plenty of features.
The egg2 is a sleek and stylish buggy that can be used as a single or a double buggy. It can accommodate 2 carrycots or seats. It also comes with five reclining options to ensure maximum comfort and is great on rougher terrain.
Side-by-Side
Twin pushchairs are a good option for parents looking to keep their children close and in sight. They are also smaller than tandem strollers, and they're easier to maneuver. They may not fit through certain hallways and doors. It is important to double-check the dimensions.
The most effective side-by-side twin pushchairs are made of tough materials and come with many features that will help you adjust them for your expanding family. They typically have seats that recline to near flat and can be adjusted in various positions. This includes two lie-flat positions specifically for newborns. There is also a lot of storage space for your belongings and shopping. Some have a huge shopping basket that sits behind the seat in a parent-facing mode, giving you quick access to the items that your children require during your outings.
A great example of a fantastic side-by-side twin pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It's the thinnest tandem pushchair and has a footprint similar to one buggy. It's also extremely light and easy to maneuver across different terrains. This makes it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. It also comes with a large sun canopy and UPF 50+ fabric for maximum protection against the elements.
The Wave from Cybex is a great twin pushchair with a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used as a double buggy right from birth (and can accommodate two car seats or carrycots) and comes with a simple one-click fold that our Lab experts appreciate. Our testers also found it comfortable for kids to ride in, and the seats are spacious with lots of legroom.
The UPPAbaby vist v2 is a favorite option for families with two toddlers or infants. It can fit two infant car seats and is designed to grow with your children. The two seats can be transformed into a stand-and sit configuration for older siblings. The seats can also recline to almost flat and come with an integrated cover that zips up for additional protection. The one-click folding feature is simple and the suspension helps it to handle bumps and lumps.
Lightweight
If you need a twin pushchair that is easy to use and won't take up much space in your car then look no further than the Graco DuoRider. This side-by-side pushchair can seat two children in comfort and features a simple one-hand fold that allows you to put it away in the smallest of places. It has a sturdy steel chassis, which is among the tiniest on the market. It can also be expanded to accommodate twin seats or carrycots.
Reversible DuoRider Seats let siblings face each other, either you or the exciting world around them. The canopy and calf support can be adjusted separately, so both can enjoy a comfortable ride. It is suitable for infants all the way to toddlers. It fits through doors that are standard which makes it a great option for twin moms.
The egg2 is a second double stroller that can be reversible, which is ideal for families with young children. This stylish stroller that converts from single to dual can take 2 carrycots or infant car seats, so it's an ideal double buggy for infants and growing families. It has a spacious basket, so you can easily carry everything you need.
It's worth thinking about a light twin pushchair that has additional accessories such as sunshades and rain covers to make life easier, especially when travelling. Cup holders and snack trays are useful for parents too.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a stylish city-bicycle that's light and compact, perfect to navigate public transport and shopping aisles. It can carry twins or toddlers, babies or even three children using a "PiggyBack board" (sold separately at a price of P120). It comes with front suspension, which allows it to take on rougher surfaces as well. Its stand-alone, one-handed fold is convenient and our lab experts appreciate the speed that it opens and shuts. It also has a generous basket, as well as front and rear suspension to enhance the handling on rough terrain. The only issue is that the fabric isn't as luxurious as the other strollers we've reviewed. However, it's a reasonably priced twin stroller.
Tandem
A popular option for twins and larger families, tandem twin pushchairs are a single pushchair that can be made to hold two carrycots or infant seats, or a combination of both. This type of design is utilized by a number of double travel systems and is compatible with a wide range of car seats. This kind of pushchair is generally wider than a side-byside model, however it can be easier to fit through doorways and onto public transport, especially those that have a step-through frame. It can be less stable when bouncing up kerbs due to its heavier weight. It could also require dismantling to fit in the car.
Some tandem buggy frames are also able to be used as singles, with a rumble seat added in front, back or underneath. This is ideal for children of different ages. The iCandy Peach is one example that offers 16 seating configurations. It also folds up compactly when it's not in use. The Joolz Geo is another smart alternative for those who live in cities and the UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used with twins, or as a baby and toddler with its "piggyback" board included.
The iCandy Wave also makes a stylish twin pushchair, since it can be used as a single, with your toddler in front or as a double facing the parent with both children facing toward the back. It folds with a single click and is compatible with a variety of car seats, although you'll need adapters for those that aren't made by iCandy.
The Phil & Teds Sport tandem stroller is a sleek and elegant tandem stroller with a narrow footprint. Its all-wheel suspension and single swivel wheel on the front make it a great off-roader. The pushchair isn't as light as other models, however it's a budget-friendly option and comes with a variety of extras that competitors sell separately. The seat is at a decent height so that children who are older can sit comfortably.
Convenient
Twin strollers (sometimes called duo or tandem strollers) are perfect for families that have to transport two children with similar ages. They usually have side-byside seating but some offer different configurations so you can choose the most comfortable configuration for your family.
The Graco DuoRider, for example features one-hand folding and is packed with customizable comfort features that both children will appreciate. You can alter the recline, calf support and canopy to meet your needs and make it an ideal choice for mothers who are looking for a comfortable double pushchair.
It can be used with two car seats or carrycots. In mono mode, it is narrower and easier to maneuver through doorways and public transportation. Push Chairs And Prams , which is loved by parents who are conscious of their image, can be customized with a variety of extras that are a reflection of your personal style.
Our lab experts loved the ease of set up, with a clever frame that expands in width and allows the seats out and in with a single click. They also loved how big it was, with a large shopping basket, as well as front and rear suspension to ease the way over bumps and uneven surfaces. The kids did feel it was a little long in twin mode and, when using the two carrycots or chairs, each child has to face forwards, which may be an issue for some.
The Joolz Urban Glide is another great option for jogging that can be adapted to use with one or two children in car seats. It comes with a huge canopy that can be widened to provide good coverage and has a peekaboo window that both kids will appreciate. It's a little heavier than some of the other models but our lab experts found it rolled smoothly and offered plenty of storage in its undercarriage, although you'll have to purchase additional accessories like sunshades and rain covers.
