Buying a Double Pushchair For Twins Or Two Siblings Close in Age? Whether you're having twins or two kids close in age, a double pushchair will give you the flexibility you need for your growing family. Select from side-by-side or tandem models such as the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 that's narrow enough to fit through standard doors. Many models are compatible with infant car seats and include reclining seats. Some models can even be converted to single mode. The egg2 Pushchair is a well-loved choice for its style and versatility. Side by Side Side-by-side is the classic choice for families with twins or siblings of different age. These typically offer 2 fixed seats with a single canopy and are usually larger than an inline buggy to give both children the same view. They are easy to maneuver and some even have front and rear suspensions to help with traversing kerbs or bumps. They can be more expensive than other double buggies but they are more cost of resales, especially if they are a popular brand. They're also ideal for jogging and can withstand rough terrain, while the seats are spacious enough for your kids to sit comfortably. You can find these buggies in a variety of colours and designs to match your family's style. Some models come with additional accessories to help keep your babies comfortable. These may include head supports and baby blankets. Some might have pockets to store snacks and toys. Parents can also find an infant buggy with a console for parents to keep the essentials in their reach. The 2023 version of this cult buggy comes with a new look, a bigger sun canopy, and new logos. It's a stylish choice for parents who are image-conscious and is compatible with iCandy child car seats. It's also easy to assemble but Kerry found it did take a long time to get all the components out of the boxes. The packaging was well-labeled and smart, so it was easy to identify what each component would look similar to. It's a bit heavier than other double buggies but still fairly light for an inline-model. It's also incredibly versatile, and can be used with one or two infant car seats. It can be transformed from a single seat to an entire tandem in just a single click. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is a great double stroller for parents who are busy. It's extremely maneuverable in tight spaces and can handle tough terrain easily. It comes with a huge basket, independent recline on both seats, and a 5-point padded harness to keep your kids safe. Tandem The innovative frame of this pushchair is able to expand widthways which allows you to add an additional seat without sacrificing space. It's a great choice for twins as young as birth, and will take 2 car seats or carrycots as well and is a great travel system for road trips. It is a little heavier and longer than some of its rivals, but it offers a lot of storage space including a large basket for shopping. The iCandy Peach has a sleek, stylish design that is popular with parents who are conscious of their image. Its reclining main seat also can be adjusted into four different positions, and it will increase in size with your children's weight to 25kg. The quick-release Velcro fasteners make it simple to add an additional seat. This model can be used in tandem mode, with one child seated on the other. This is an excellent option for parents who want to keep from disturbing your sleepy newborn. The seat is set one in front of the other in this configuration, so it can be more difficult for toddlers to be distracted from each other while you're out and out and. This type of pushchair has padding that allows the seat to recline completely, making it suitable for infants. Many models will have a higher, more upright seat in the back for older children. It's usually possible to set the seats to be oriented so that they are facing one another or to face the world according to the model of the pushchair. With a tandem pushchair it's easier to squeeze through narrow doors, but it can be a challenge to navigate stairs and kerbs with two children. This multi-purpose pushchair is a great option for families with children with special needs. It's a great option for disabled kids who can benefit from having a younger sibling that they can play with and encourage. It's not cheap, but it's built to last. There's also plenty of space for all your needs. It comes with a variety of accessories that allow you to customise the buggy to fit your family, including rain covers and liners. Lightweight The best double strollers that are lightweight are compact, easy to maneuver and agile. They're typically made of a sturdy aluminium frame, but some also have air-filled wheels to help them slide over even rough surfaces. They may also feature a one-handed fold and handy shoulder straps to make them more convenient to carry. Consider adding extras like a foot muff, a sunshade or rain cover. The Cybex Mios is a lightweight double stroller with a low price. It is a travel system that can be used as a light stroller, as well as a fully-functional travel system. A carrycot can be added to allow it to be suitable for use from the time of birth. It has a side-by-side design and both seats recline independently providing the ideal position for toddlers and infants. It comes with a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and a toddler seat that is fully padded and adjustable. Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It can carry twins, or a baby and toddler. It can be used with a variety of car seats. It's an elegant and sleek frame with large wheels on the back to handle rough terrain. It's ideal for jogging. The double mode could make it a little long, and there's no storage underneath the seat. When comparing double pushchairs, think about the weight of each frame, seat and suspension. The heavier the buggy is, the more difficult to push, particularly over uneven surfaces. Be sure to look at the dimensions of the folding and then see if you can take off the seat to make it smaller. Look for features such as a simple one-handed fold which test-run tester Kirstie described as “genius”, and a convenient strap to sling over your shoulders. You can also choose a tandem double stroller which places the children one behind the other. It's not as maneuverable, but still an ideal choice for families with multiple children. It might be better suited to older toddlers. Certain tandems have recliner seats that let children lay down or sit up depending on their mood. Comfortable Whether you're a parent of twins or have two siblings close in age, having the right double pushchair will make outings much easier. There are many comfortable options available on the market. There are plenty of options for families, no matter if you're seeking a side by side model that can hold both a carrycot and a seat or a tandem that has seats in the front and back that can be switched. In pushchair twin to buckles, straps with padding and headrests, look for seats with multiple recline positions and adjustable calf rests. Often, these will be operated with one-handed buttons accessible from the back of the seat (though in our tests this could be difficult for parents with small hands). Some of the best double pushchairs also offer an enormous UPF 50+ sun canopy that has magnetic peekaboo windows and an incredibly useful hood extension to protect your children from harmful UV rays. Convertible Doubles One way to save money is to invest in a convertible pushchair that can convert from single mode to double as your children develop. The egg2, for example, is a stylish choice that works with the toddler seat included or baby carrier from birth and can even include a second RumbleSeat for older siblings. The reclining seats and spacious carrycots were especially well-loved by test subjects at home who loved the possibility of it growing with your family. If you're looking for a low-cost option that will last through toddlerhood and beyond, the iCandy Venus is a great choice. It includes a footmuff as well as a seat, but it can be converted into a twin-sized stroller by using the brand's newborn Cocoons (available at PS59 per piece). Our labs loved how simple it is to change between configurations and found the directions clear and easy to follow – even though it may take some time to get it all out of the box. Some double pushchairs only allow you to put your children side-by-side and generally face the world, but there are some exceptions, such as the Bugaboo Donkey and Mountain Buggy Duet that can be set up for both front and parent facing seating (though this will increase the overall size of the chassis). Tandems are generally easier to maneuver through kerbs, but they can be a challenge to maneuver through narrow doorways and aisles.
