11 Strategies To Completely Block Your Twin Pushchair

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair will be a great choice. They provide two places for your infants to travel, and usually come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Accessories like cups and snack trays for both kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children face each other. This is the preferred method of some parents who find it less likely to cause sibling rivalries over who is sitting where. It also works well for visiting places like the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, however they also are larger and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair and can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This can be an affordable option for families expecting more than one child, and it means that you won't have to buy an entirely new buggy once your older child outgrows it. It's not the best option for twins who are in their early years, as they'll need to be of a similar weight and age.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It comes with 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 however it offers durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that is attached directly to the single seat.

It can also accommodate the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that lets you alter the configuration as your children develop. It begins as one pram but has adaptors that attach to the frame to allow for a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models however, they can be inserted through doors and are much easier to move around the kerbs. They also let you use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots side-byside, which works well for siblings of various age.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair can significantly affect its functionality. It is important to look for various options that will allow you to change the direction your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation, or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that let siblings to face one another either with you or the exciting road ahead.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they have additional features like larger baskets and extra padding for the seats. You may also find that they're more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you might need to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

Checking the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as ensuring that it's within your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the best value for money.
