Twin Pushchairs: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
Which Twin Pushchairs Are Right For Your Family?

If you have twins, or your children are similar in age, a double pushchair will help you get them from one place to the other safely and quickly. Some of the models in this range such as the iCandy Wave, start life as single buggies, but can be converted into double mode as your family grows.

Side-by-side buggies

If you have two children of similar ages that will share the same twin pushchair, then a side-byside model is probably the best. These models are also referred to as tandem pushchairs or duo buggys. They offer a variety of seating options, meaning that you can easily switch from one child to another according to the age and needs of each child. These models are perfect for siblings and twins who are close to each other in the same age. They can sit next to eachother rather than facing eachother, making them feel more at home.

Side-by-side buggies are typically smaller than you think, so they're a perfect option for those who don't want their brand new double stroller to be heavy or unpractical. Choose a model that is sleek and easy to manage, with plenty of storage space. A good-sized shopping bag is also a must, and you'll want to make sure that the seats have recline positions as well as all the features needed to keep your children comfortable including headrests, footrests and canopies.

Make sure you know the weight of the double buggy, particularly in the case of a toddler or infant and a car seat, or carrycot. It's worth noting that many double buggies are available in tandem or side-by-side configurations It's essential to determine which one is best for your family prior to making a buy.

It's nimble and user-friendly and has an extensive colour selection so you can find the right style for your child. Unlike many other brands, it has tray for the child and the parent to store snacks and drinks which is ideal to keep your kids entertained.

Tandem buggies

If you're expecting twins, or two children of similar age, a tandem pushchair might be the best option. A tandem is less bulky than double prams or twin buggies, which have the children sitting side by side. It is simpler to navigate narrow walkways like supermarket aisles, and public transportation. It also means it will take less space in your car's boot.

A tandem buggy made of high-quality will be comfortable and safe for your children. Make sure it has a sturdy chassis, safety harnesses that are adjustable to grow with your kids and plenty of padding in both seats.

Another important thing to be aware of is whether the buggy folds with the seats attached. Some of them can fold with the second seat removed, which can help to keep it smaller when you're short on storage space. You'll also find some have convenient shoulder straps, making them simple to get when you're in a hurry.

An excellent option is the Joolz Geo 3, which can be used as a single or dual stroller that can also be converted into the carrycot for infants, a toddler seat and a child-carrier board for older siblings.

Single-to-double buggies

You can choose a single-to double buggy if you are a parent with twins. It will expand with your family. These models have a movable frame that allows you to add an additional seat or carrycot. These models are typically narrower than twin buggy models and can be used in doors or on public transportation. They may be less robust in rough terrain, and they take up more space in the car's boot than a tandem model.

This type of design is best illustrated by the popular egg2 single to double pushchair. It's sleek as a single and provides a variety of configuration options as a double, including infant and carrycot seats. It's important to remember that this type of model doesn't allow siblings to be parent-facing therefore if you wish to keep your children close to each other and give them plenty of opportunity for interaction on the move then a larger tandem model will suit you better.

You can also buy single-to-double buggies that come with a travel system that can fit either one or two car seat. These types of models are great if you're planning to use your own car seat and don't like swapping them out and in as needed. They're also a good option if you're not sure what the length of time your twins will need an infant stroller and you'd prefer to be able to buy an infant seat when the time arrives.


Some brands have defied the trend and created side-by-side buggies that convert singles to doubles. These include the Bugaboo Donkey or the Leclerc Influencer. double pram and pushchair is a neat design that allows users to add an extra seat or carrycot without the need for tools and it folds flat for easy storage.

It's a great device that expands with one click and can accommodate an additional seat, or carrycot in less than an hour.

Carrycots

A carrycot is an ideal place to lay down and rest your child while you're out and out and about. In addition to being warm and comfortable, carrycots come with high sidewalls that protect your baby's delicate skin from the elements like wind and rain as well as the sun. In fact, many of the top twin strollers come with an infant carrycot included in their bundle.

In contrast to Moses baskets, which are only intended for indoor use, most carrycots can be used outdoors. Make sure you read the instructions of the manufacturer prior to taking your child for a stroll. Keep in mind that your child will outgrow the stroller at some point, so choose one that has a maximum weight limit of 9kg or more.

If you're in search of a twin-stroller with carrycot that is in line with European standards, ensure that it is flammable and ventilated. It should be light, with a compact footprint, so that it is easy to carry around in your car. You should consider a model with an ample storage basket underneath the seat, which can accommodate up to 22 pounds of gear. This will provide you with enough space to store all the baby's necessities such as a changing mat and a shopping bag.
