Buying a Twin Pushchair

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

The iCandy Strawberry twin buggy is a real favourite with parents and will grow with your family. It starts life as an individual, but can accommodate two car seats or carrycots in double mode.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A double pushchair twin is a great option for families with twins, or a baby and toddler. Double buggys, or twin prams as they are often referred to, come in a variety of designs to accommodate all types of families. Some are side-by-side with others having a front and a back for smaller spaces. Some are also able to be transformed into single prams once your children grow out of them, making them an ideal option for growing families.

Side-by-side twin buggies (or tandem twin buggies) are easy to steer as their front wheels can be locked in place for extra stability, and there's generally more storage space behind them. They are also smaller than other twin buggies and more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. They are lighter than other twin prams and may be more portable, but you may find it difficult to maneuver them on kerbs or on uneven terrain.

The iCandy Peach, which comes in a range of colors and styles, is a chic twin folding pushchair with a sleeker design. It's also a great twin cheap stroller for newborns and babies due to the cozy newborn cocoons, which make a comfortable, flat-floored space. It has a small basket however it has a remarkable suspension so that it can take on bumpy surfaces.

Many twin buggies can be used for travel systems, meaning they come with car seats that can be affixed to the frame. This can be beneficial for travelling with young babies and toddlers since you don't have to move them from the car to the pushchair, which could be disruptive to them. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an example of twin pushchairs that can be used as a travel device, and it even features a clever mode that allows parents to be in the same room with their babies.

Tandem twin buggies, on other hand, are typically designed for children of similar ages and are more likely to provide a seat unit for each child. They're less likely to include carrycots specifically for infants and are usually wider than single buggies. They can be manoeuvred, though and a lot of them have an recline that is independent, so that both kids can sit up or be reclined to a snooze position.

Easy to fold

If you're purchasing a double running pushchair, you'll likely want it to be easy to fold. This will make it simple to move the buggy around and also to store it in smaller areas. Many brands offer a range of ways to fold the pushchair so you can find one that suits your requirements. Some models have a strap for the shoulder that makes it easier to carry.

Most twin pushchairs can be folded using just one hand, however it is worth checking before you buy that yours can do this. Some of the best models can be folded with the seat removed, making them even smaller. This is particularly useful when you're short of storage space.

Another thing to be on the lookout for is whether or not your twin pushchair will be capable of fitting through doors that are standard. The wider width of most tandem buggies may be a problem and it's a good idea to measure the width of your doors before you purchase. There are smaller models that are designed to fit through doors that are narrower if this is an issue.

In our lab tests, the UPPAbaby Vista was a winner for being easy to fold and compact when not in use. It can hold two infant car seats as well as two toddler seats, so it's a good option for families that are growing. It comes with a large storage basket and rubber tires with foam filling that won't flatten.

It's less expensive than the other models we've tested and is an excellent choice for twins or babies with similar age. It can be used as a comfortable seat unit and a carrycot, and it can be used to accommodate three children with the addition of UPPAbaby’s PiggyBack Board (sold separately).

Chicco Cortina together is a fantastic option for dual strollers that are affordable. It can hold two Chicco infant car seats which makes it suitable for twins. It comes with a huge storage basket, an easy-to use handlebar and brakes.

Easy to store

It's good to know that not all double buggies need to be huge, bulky and difficult to store. In fact there are many models designed to be slim and easily foldable. This can help them fit into smaller spaces and make it simpler to get in and out of the vehicle.

Some twin pushchairs are light and easy to transport and use with busses, trains and shopping aisles. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 comes to the forefront, thanks to its lightweight frame that can withstand rough terrain and four-wheel suspension. It can also be used to carry twins (or one baby and a toddler) with the addition of a 'piggyback' board.

Most twin buggys offer ample storage space It's important to check whether this is still accessible when both seats are in use. Some side-by-side configurations can be a challenge and the "one above, one below' style of tandem can also hinder access due to child's legs. Find large baskets, pockets and compartments which can store everything from snacks and toys to sunscreen and rain covers.

Take a look at the accessories that are available. Some twin pushchairs come with a range of extras that can be useful such as drink holders for the little ones to snack trays for older children. Find models with these features, as well as an integrated sun canopy, raincover and hood.

Many twin pushchairs can be transformed into an ideal travel system for families that are growing, with the option of adding a carrycot, buggy seat and car seat. This is particularly beneficial for newborns or toddlers as it makes sure they're safe, comfortable and ready for any adventure. The egg2 is a very popular choice here, with its sleek styling and versatility, even though it is a little heavier than some rivals.

If you're on a strict budget, there are still some excellent options for less than PS200. The iCandy Pegasus 2 is a fantastic choice with its large basket and easy access storage for all seating positions. It also comes with a cushioned leg support as well as a rain cover.

Easy to transport

If you plan to use your twin buggy often for family outings and excursions around town, it's worth getting one that folds to a size that is small enough to be able to be carried in the car boot or in the trunk of a car you hire. 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 seats removed to make even more compact storage. They are ideal for use at home. You should also consider the weight of the double buggy. Larger buggies are more difficult to maneuver and might have trouble getting up or down kerbs.

Most twin pushchairs have fixed side-by-side designs, with some that can be able to accommodate two carrycots or seat units (and sometimes a third). Some twin pushchairs are suitable for single children with a difference of less than two years or siblings. The amazing Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo, with its reversible seating, lets the children face each other, or you. It also has a variety of other configurations suitable for babies to toddlers.

It's much easier to get on and off the train, bus or tram with a twin pushchair. It's great for cities and towns with many people, busy streets, or shopping centres.

If you're in search of a twin-pushchair which allows you to easily hop on and off public transport, we suggest an option like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 – a sleek elegant city buggy that can be used for two newborns using the newborn cocoons included or for one baby and a child older than the baby by using its clever'sidepack'. (available separately for PS45). This gives you another seat that can be attached to the back of the frame and can be positioned to face either way. You can also add a piggyback (also available separately for PS120) to ensure that you can take three children on longer journeys.
