15 Gifts For The Twin Pushchair Lover In Your Life

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great choice if you have two kids or children with similar ages. They offer two places for your infants and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models that have easy-to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cups and snack trays for parents and kids are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair double since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over which seat. It's also a great option for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to view each one another. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, but they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This can be an affordable option for families with more than one child. Additionally, it means that you won't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child has outgrown it. It's not the best choice for twins in the beginning stages, since they'll have to be of the same weight and age.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger which can be used in single or double mode and has two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward steering wheel, so it can also be used for off-road trails. It is heavier than other options but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that can be attached to the existing single to double buggy seat. It features one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers we have tested. It also works with many car seats.

It is initially one pram but has adaptors that connect to the frame to add a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be larger than the standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are more maneuverable through kerbs and up and down.

The side-by-side configuration is a popular option for parents who are new. One child is seated behind the second. This kind of twin buggy gives both children the same view and is generally more compact than one pushchair, making it easier to navigate in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance offers more than 20 options, so you can select the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.
