Responsible For An Twin Pushchairs Budget 10 Ways To Waste Your Money

Buying a Twin Pushchair

It's important to consider the various options when shopping for a double pushchair. The main options are a tandem double buggy and side-by-side double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry Twin buggy is a favorite among parents and will grow with your family. It is a single buggy that can be transformed to double by adding two carrycots or car seats.

Easy to maneuver

If you're taking twins for a walk or have a baby and toddler at the same age, a double pushchair with car seat is an essential tool in keeping them content. Double buggys, or twin prams as they're sometimes called, come in a variety of configurations to fit all kinds of families. Some are side-by-side, while others feature a single front and the other back for spaces that are narrow. Some can be converted to single prams when your children are old enough to use them. This is a great choice for growing families.

Side-by-side twin buggies (or tandem twin buggies) are easy to steer as their front wheels can be locked for extra stability, and there is usually more storage space behind them. They are also more compact than other twin buggies. This means they are more convenient to maneuver through doors and on public transport. They are generally lighter than other twin prams, and they are more mobile too however you may find them harder to get up and down kerbs on rough terrain.

The iCandy Peach, which comes in a range of colors and styles, is a chic twin pushchair with a more streamlined design. It is also a great twin stroller travel (click here to visit Kovchegtm for free) for newborns and babies due to the soft newborn cocoons that create a lie-flat enclosed space. It has a small basket, but it has impressive suspension that allows it to be able to handle bumpy surfaces.

Many twin buggies are travel systems with car seats that can attach to the frame. This can be beneficial when traveling with infants and toddlers as it means you don't have to transfer them from the car to the pushchair, which could disturb them. The Uppababy Vista 2 is a twin-pushchair that can also be used as a travel pushchair system. It has a parent-facing mode, which is ideal for infants.

Tandem twin buggies on the other hand, are usually designed for children of similar ages and tend to have a seat unit for each child. They're less likely to include carrycots for younger babies and are usually wider than single buggies. They can still be easily moved, however, and many have recline seats that are independent so that both kids can sit up or be reclined to snooze.

Easy to fold

If you're considering buying a double pushchair, you'll likely need it to fold. This will allow you to transport the buggy from one place to another, and will allow you to store it in a smaller space. You can pick from a variety of ways to fold your pushchair. Some even include a handy shoulder strap to make it easier for you to carry.

Check before you buy if the model you are buying can be folded with one hand. Some of the top models can be folded with the seat removed, making them smaller. This is especially useful if you have limited storage space.

Another thing to watch out for is whether or not your twin pushchair will be suitable for use through standard doors. The wider width of most tandem buggies may be an issue, so it's worth measuring the door's width before you purchase. If this is a problem there are smaller models out there that are designed to be easier to maneuver through doorways.

UPPAbaby Vista won our lab tests for its compactness and the ease of folding when not in use. It can carry two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats, making it a good prams option for families that are growing. It also has an excellent large storage basket, as well as rubber tires with foam that won't be flat.

It's less expensive than other models we tested and is a great choice for twins or infants of similar age ranges. It can be used as a cosy seat and carrycot, and can accommodate three children when you add the use of UPPAbaby’s PiggyBack Board (sold separately).

Chicco Cortina together is a fantastic option for two strollers that are affordable. It can accommodate two Chicco infant car seats, making it suitable for twins starting at birth. It also has a big storage basket, as well as an easy-to-use handlebar and brakes.

Easy to store

It's important to be aware that not all double buggies need to be large, bulky and difficult to store. In fact, there are plenty of models that are designed to be small and foldable stroller. This allows them to fit into smaller spaces and make it easier to get in and out of a car.

Some twin pushchairs can be light, making it simple to transport them and use them on buses, trains, and shopping aisles. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a perfect example, thanks to its lightweight frame and four-wheel suspension, making it easy to handle rough terrain. With the addition of an 'piggyback board', it can carry twins or a baby and toddler.

It's worth checking if the storage space is still accessible when both seats are in use. Some side-by-side configurations can be tricky, and the "one above style of tandem can also hinder access due to child's legs. Find large baskets, pockets and compartments to store everything from sun cream and rain covers to toys and snacks.

You'll also want to consider the type of add-ons available. Some twin pushchairs have numerous useful features, such as drink holders for the younger children or snack tray for the older children. It is worth looking for a model with these features, as along with a sun canopy built-in, rain cover and hood to keep your little ones protected.

Many twin pushchairs convert into a travel system that is able to accommodate growing families. They come with the option of adding an automobile seat, buggy seat, or carrycot. This is particularly beneficial for toddlers or infants as it makes sure they are comfortable, safe and ready for any adventure. The egg2 is a favorite here, with its sleek design and versatility, even though it is a little heavier than other egg models.

If you're on a strict budget, there are still some excellent options for less than PS200. The iCandy Pegasus 2 is a excellent choice, thanks to its large basket and easy access storage in all seating positions. It comes with a padded foot support and waterproof cover.

Easy to transport

If you are planning to use your twin buggy on long-distance family trips as well as city tours, it's worth investing into a model that can fold down to fit into the trunk or in a rental vehicle. A slim, manageable design is also helpful for getting through narrow aisles and doors in public transport.

There are buggy models that can be folded with the seats removed for smaller storage. These are ideal for use at home. Also, you should take into consideration the weight of a double buggy. The heavier buggies are difficult to maneuver and might be unable to get up and down kerbs.

Some twin pushchairs can hold up to two carrycots (and sometimes the third) and are designed in a side-byside arrangement. Some are also suitable for children who are similar age or for siblings with an extremely small age gap. The enthralling Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo, with its reversible seating, lets the children face each other, or you. It also comes with various other configurations that are suitable for newborns through toddlers.

A twin pushchair can be an ideal option for families living close to public transport routes as it's generally simpler to hop on and off buses, trains or trams. It's also good for busy cities or towns where you'll be navigating lots of people and shopping centres, as well as streets.

If you are looking for a twin-pushchair that will allow you to easily hop on and off public transport, we suggest a model like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 – a sleek urban buggy that can be used by two babies using the newborn cocoons provided or for one baby and a child older than the baby by using its clever'sidepack'. (available separately for PS45). This gives you a second seat that attaches to the frame's back and can be positioned to face either way. You can also add a piggyback board (also sold separately for PS120) to allow three kids to join you for longer trips.
