Finding the Best Twin Pushchair
Finding the best twin pushchair for your twins or a toddler and baby is vital to ensure they are comfortable while traveling. These pushchairs prams are light and easy to set up, with plenty of features.
The egg2 features an elegant frame and can be used as a double or single buggy, taking 2 carrycots/seats. It also has 5 reclining options to ensure maximum comfort and is great on rougher terrain.
Side-by-Side
Twin pushchairs are a great option for parents looking to keep their children close and visible. They are also smaller than tandem strollers and are easier to maneuver. They may not fit through some doors or hallways. It is important to verify the dimensions.
The top side-by-side twin pushchairs are made of durable materials and come with many features that will help you adjust them for your growing family. They typically come with seats that can recline and close to flat and be adjusted into multiple positions, including two different lie-flat positions suitable for newborns. They also have a huge amount of storage space for your shopping and gear. Some models feature a large storage basket behind the seat, which is facing you. This allows you to quickly access the items your children might need on your outings.
A great example of a great side-by-side twin pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It’s the thinnest twin pushchair available and has a footprint that’s roughly the same as the footprint of a single buggy. It’s also extremely lightweight and smooth to navigate over various terrains, which makes it ideal for those who love the outdoors. It also comes with a massive sun canopy and UPF 50+ fabric for maximum protection from the elements.
The Wave from Cybex is another excellent twin pushchair that has frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used from birth as double stroller (and can accommodate two car seats or carrycots for children) and it also comes with a neat one click fold that our Lab experts love. It’s also comfortable for children to ride in. The seats are large with plenty of legroom.
The UPPAbaby Vist v2 is another popular choice for families with two babies or toddlers. It is compatible with two infant car seat carriers and is designed to grow with your kids since the two seats can be transformed into a stand-and-sit arrangement for older siblings. The seats can be reclined until they are almost flat and have a cover that zips in for extra protection. The simple one-click fold is effortless and comes with an effective suspension that allows it to deal with bumps and bumps.
Lightweight
The Graco DuoRider is an extremely light twin pushchair with simple fold that won’t weigh down your vehicle. This side-by-side pushchair can seat two children in comfort, with an easy fold that allows you to put it away in the smallest of places. It also comes with a durable steel chassis that is among the lightest on the market, and expands widthways to accommodate twin seat(s) or a carrycot(s).
Reversible DuoRider Seats allow siblings to face each other, either you or the exciting world around them. Both the canopy and calf support can be adjusted independently so that both children have a comfortable ride. It’s suitable from birth to toddlerhood and can be accessed through standard doorways too which makes it a great choice for moms of twins.
The egg2 is another double stroller that can be reversible, which is ideal for families with young kids. This stylish stroller that converts from single to dual can accommodate 2 carrycots or infant car seats, making it a great double buggy for newbies and growing families. It also comes with a huge basket, so you can fit all your essentials.
It’s worth thinking about a light twin pushchair that has additional accessories such as sunshades and rain covers to make life easier, especially when travelling. Cup holders and snack trays are also handy for parents too.
The Vista 2 UPPAbaby is an elegant city buggy that’s light and compact, perfect for tackling public transport and shopping aisles. It can carry twins or toddlers, a baby and even three kids using a “PiggyBack” board (sold separately at PS120). It also has front suspensions for rougher surfaces. Its single-hand fold is convenient, and our lab experts appreciate the speed that it opens and shuts. Additionally, it comes with an ample basket as well as front and rear suspension for improved handling on tricky terrain. The only downside to this stroller is that the material isn’t as luxurious as the other models we’ve looked at. However, it’s a affordable twin stroller.
Tandem
A popular option for twins and larger families alike, a tandem twin pushchair is a single-buggy that can be made to hold two carrycots or infant seats or a combination of both. Many double travel systems use this style and can be used with a variety of car seats (although not all). This type of pushchair can be larger than a standard side by side however, it is also easy to maneuver through doors and onto public transport. A heavier weight can make it feel less stable bumping up kerbs and may require dismantling in order to fit into cars, however.
Some tandem buggy frames can be used as a single unit with an ‘rumble seat’ that can be placed to the front, behind or underneath – perfect for growing children of various age groups. The iCandy Peach is one example with 16 seating options. It also folds compactly when not in use. The Joolz Geo, another smart option for those living in cities is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can be used by twins as well as an infant and toddler with its ‘piggyback ‘ board.
The iCandy Wave is also a great twin pushchair. It can be used either as a single pushchair with an infant in front, or as a double facing the parent, with both children facing towards the rear. It folds easily with a single click and is compatible with a range of car seats. However, you will require adapters for those not made by iCandy.
The Phil & Teds Sport tandem stroller is a sleek, stylish tandem stroller that has an extremely compact travel pram footprint. Its all-wheel suspension and single swivel wheels on the front make it an excellent off-roader. This pushchair isn’t as lightweight as some other models but it’s a budget-friendly choice and comes with plenty of extras that competitors sell separately. The seat is also an ideal height for older children to be able to sit comfortably.
Convenient
The twin stroller (also called tandem strollers or duo strollers), is a great option for families that need to transport children of similar age. They typically have seating that is side-by-side but some offer different configurations so you can pick the most comfortable layout for your family.
The Graco DuoRider is a great example. It has a one hand fold and comes with a variety of features for comfort that are appealing to both children. You can adjust the recline, calf support, and canopy to meet your needs, which makes this a very convenient option for mums who want a hassle-free double pushchair.
It can be used with two car seats or carrycots. In mono mode, it is smaller and easier to maneuver through doorways and public transportation. The iCandy Wave is popular with parents who are conscious of their appearance and can be customized with a variety of accessories to suit your personal style.
The innovative frame that expands in size and allows seats to be placed and removed with a single click was a major delight for our lab experts. They also loved how big it was, with a deep shopping basket and rear and front suspensions to ease the way over bumps and uneven surfaces. In twin mode, they felt it was a bit long and when using two carrycots or a seat the children have to be facing forward, which might be a problem for other children.
The Joolz Urban Glide is another excellent jogging option that can be adapted to use with two or more kids in car seats. It has a big canopy that can be expanded to give adequate coverage and it has a peekaboo feature, which children and parents alike will enjoy. It’s heavier than other models but our lab experts found it to be smooth and offered plenty of storage in its undercarriage, although you’ll need to purchase additional accessories like sunshades and rain covers.
