Buying a Twin Pushchair

It is crucial to consider the various configurations when choosing a double pushchair. Two options to consider are tandem double buggies and side-by-side double buggies.

The iCandy Strawberry Twin buggy is a favorite among parents and will develop with your family. It is initially an individual, but can use two carrycots or car seats in double mode.

Easy to manoeuvre

When you're taking twins for a walk or have a toddler and baby at the same age, a double pushchair can be a lifesaver in keeping them happy. Double buggys, or twin prams as they're often referred to, come in a variety of designs to accommodate all types of families. Some are side by side and others have two fronts and a rear for small spaces. Some can be converted to single prams once your children are old enough to use them. This is a great choice for families with growing children.

Side-by-side twin buggies (or tandem twin buggies) are easy to steer as their front wheels can often be locked to provide added stability, and there's usually more storage space behind them. They are smaller than other twin buggies and more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. They weigh less than other twin sale prams and can be more portable, but you might find it difficult to maneuver them up and down kerbs, or over rough terrain.

If you're looking for a more compact twin pushchair, the iCandy Peach is a stylish choice that's available in a range of colours. It's also a great twin stroller for infants and newborns, thanks to the cosy newborn cocoons which make a comfortable, flat-floored space. It has a small basket, but it has impressive suspension to handle bumpy surfaces.

A lot of twin buggies can be used for travel systems, meaning they come with car seats that can be attached to the frame. This can be useful 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 good example of twin pushchairs that can be used as a travel device, and it also features a clever parent-facing mode for newborns.

Tandem twin buggies, on the other hand, are usually designed for children of similar age and are more likely to offer an individual seat for each child. They are less likely to have carrycots for babies younger than six months old, and tend to be wider than single buggies. They are still able to be moved, however, and many have recline that is independent, to allow both children to sit up or be reclined to snooze.

Easy to fold

If you're purchasing a double pushchair, you'll likely want it to be easy to fold. This will allow you to transport the stroller from one location to another and will also allow you to store it in a smaller area. You can pick from several ways to fold your pushchair. Some even include a handy shoulder strap to help you to carry.

Most twin pushchairs (https://abc-futaba.com) are foldable using just one hand, however it is worth checking before you buy that yours will do this. Some of the best models can be folded with the seat removed, which makes them smaller. This is particularly useful if you have limited storage space.

Another thing to watch out for is whether your twin pushchair will be able to fit through standard doorways. The wide width of tandem buggies may be an issue therefore it is important to determine the dimensions of your doors prior to you buy. If this is a problem, there are slimmer models out there that are designed to make it easier to pass through doors.

It is important to determine if the storage space remains accessible when both seats are in use. Some side-byside configurations are tricky. The 'one above and one below' tandem style can also restrict access for children's legs. Look for generous baskets, pockets and compartments which can store everything from toys and snacks to sunscreen and rain covers.

You can find models which fold with the seats removed for smaller storage, however these are typically best left for home use. Also, you should take into consideration the weight of a double buggy. The heavier buggies are difficult to maneuver and might be difficult to maneuver up or down kerbs.
