10 Startups Set To Change The Twin Pushchair Industry For The Better

What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option for families with two kids or children with similar ages. They offer two spaces to carry your children and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for newborns, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Find models with push handles that are easy to use and an GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which seat. It's also a great option for places such as the zoo, where the children can easily see each their fellow. Tandems can be more spacious than single to double buggy buggy but they tend to be wider and can feel long when pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be a good option for twins in the beginning because they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in a double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward wheel which means it can be used for off-road trails. It's a bit heavier than some other options however the extra weight comes with added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment, or with a nifty double kit that is attached to the existing single seat. With the single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than many other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a range of car seats as well.

This narrow, single-to-double buggy that converts to single stroller is perfect for urban adventures due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has a UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade. It also has a peekaboo window in the front seat so both children can enjoy the view. This model does not come with an integrated recline however, it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants and newborns. It can also accommodate an infant seat, making it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides a flexible option, allowing you to adapt the configuration of your pushchair as your children grow. It starts out as a single pram with adaptors that attach to the frame for a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be wider than a regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are more maneuverable up and down kerbs. They also let you use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots side-by-side, which works well for siblings of varying ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations that include carrycots, and car seats. Our team was impressed by how light and slim it is for a strollers double strollers-seater, as well as offering a spacious and comfortable ride for kids. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining mechanism on the rear of the seat unit also makes it easy for your child to lay down flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It comes with removable seats that can be positioned to face forwards or backwards, making it ideal for twins of any age. It also accommodates a third child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board, which attaches to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair can have a significant impact on its performance. Look out for multiple options so that you can alter the direction of your children's seats according to their mood or situation and also continue to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another, you, or the exciting route ahead. The clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode with a variety of accessories for both configurations.

The side-by-side arrangement is a popular option for parents who are new. One child is seated behind the other. This kind of twin buggy is narrower than a standard pushchair, and can be maneuvered through doorways and on public transportation. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, has over 20 different configurations so you can choose the best configuration for your family. it can also accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double stroller with bassinet buggy, specifically designed for twins, into an running jogger. Both kids are facing forward. This lets you keep up with your running partner, while keeping your kids entertained.

In general twin pushchairs can be a little heavier than single pushchairs because they come with additional features like larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before deciding on this kind of stroller. You may also find that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair, and you may need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

It is equally important to test the quality of a lightweight double pushchair pushchair. This is because it's to ensure that it fits into 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. You can also gain valuable insight into the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events where you can talk to other parents about their experience and recommendations.

Stores

You'll be carrying lots of things for twins, so look for a spacious undercarriage basket with plenty of pockets or compartments to store your necessities. The storage areas should be easily accessible even if the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' board (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two infants in the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each), while the altered design lets you connect them facing either direction. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it easy to store between usages.
