Solutions To The Problems Of Twin Pushchairs

Buying a Twin Pushchair

When looking for a twin pushchair, it's important to consider the various configurations that are available. Two options to consider are tandem double buggies and side-by-side double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry twin buggy is an absolute hit with parents and will expand with your family. It is a single buggy that can be converted into a double by adding two carrycots or a car seat.

Easy to manoeuvre

A double pushchair can be lifesaving for families with twins or a child and toddler. Double buggys, or twin prams, as they are often referred to, come in a variety to fit all kinds of families. Some are side-by-side, whereas others have a front and other back for spaces that are narrow. Some can also be transformed into single prams pushchairs once your little ones grow out of them, making them a good option for families with growing children.

They are less difficult to steer than tandem twin buggies because the front wheels can be locked to provide additional stability. They also have more storage space behind them. They are also more compact than some other twin buggies, so they are easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. They are lighter than other twin prams and may be more compact, however you may find it harder to move them up and down kerbs, or over rough terrain.

If you're after a more modern twin pushchair the iCandy Peach is a stylish option that comes in a range of colours. It's also a fantastic twin stroller for babies and newborns due to the soft newborn cocoons, which provide a slumber-free, enclosed space.

Many twin buggies are able to be used as travel systems, which means they come with car seats that can be connected to the frame. This is a great feature when traveling with toddlers and infants, as you don't need to move them from the car to their pushchair. This could cause them to be disturbed. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a good example of a twin pushchair that can be used as a travel system prams system and it has a nifty parent-facing mode for newborns.

Tandem twin buggies were designed for children who are similar in age. They are more likely to have an individual seat for each child. They are less likely to have carrycots for babies less than six months and tend to be wider than single buggies. They can still be easily manoeuvred, though and a lot of them have an recline that is independent, so that both kids can sit up or recline to snooze.

Folding is simple

If you're purchasing a double pushchair, you'll probably need it to fold. This will make it easier for you to transport the babiie stroller from one location to another, and will allow you to store it in a smaller area. You can pick from several ways to fold your pushchair. Some models include a strap for the shoulder that makes it easier to carry.

Most twin pushchairs can fold with one hand, but it is worth checking before you buy that yours will be able to do this. Some of the top models can be folded with the seat removed, which makes them more compact. This is particularly useful in the case of a lack of storage space.

A twin pushchair that is too large may not be able to pass through standard doors. It's important to measure the width of your door before purchasing twin buggies. There are slimmer models that can be used to fit through doors that are narrower if this is an issue.

It is worth checking whether the storage space remains accessible even when both seats are in use. Some side-byside configurations can be a challenge and the "one above one below, one above' type of tandem can also hinder access due to child's legs. Find large compartments, baskets, and pockets that can hold everything from toys and snacks to sunscreen and rain covers.

It is also important to think about the type of add-ons available. Some twin pushchairs have various useful features including drink holders for your little ones, or snack trays for the older children. Find models with these features, along with an integrated sun canopy, raincover and hood.

A compact and manageable design will also make it easier to navigate narrow aisles and doors on public transport.
