20 Up-And-Comers To Follow In The Twin Pushchair Industry
What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair If you have two children or babies that are the same age, a twin pushchair will be a good option. They offer two places for your infants and usually come with comfortable carrycots for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers. Look out for models that have easy-to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also helpful. Tandem The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred style of parents who believe it less likely to cause sibling fights over which side to sit in. It's also a great option for places such as the zoo, where both children can easily view each other. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies. However, they also are wider and longer when pushed. A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child is outgrowing it. It might not be the most suitable option for twins in the early months, as they'll need to be the same weight and age. The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward steering wheel and can be used on off-road trails. It's a bit heavier than some other options however the extra weight comes with an increased durability. The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative double kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too. This slim, single to double stroller is perfect for urban adventures. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It features an UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view in the front seat to let both children take in the view. This model does not come with a built in recline however, it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants or newborns. It can also be used with the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater suitable for older children. Convertible A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to alter the configuration as your children develop. The frame begins as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors that can be attached to allow for the addition of a second chair or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are more suited to navigate on the kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side-by-side which is ideal for siblings. The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations that include carrycots, and car seats. Our team was impressed by the way it is slim and light is for a double-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for children. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever at the back of the unit also makes it easy for your child to lie down flat. The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It comes with removable seats that can be placed to face either way, which makes it suitable for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame could accommodate an additional child. Multiple configurations The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could have a significant impact on its functionality. Look out for multiple options so that you can alter the direction your children's seats according to their mood or the circumstances and also continue to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another and you, or the exciting path ahead. The innovative frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories that are available for both configurations. A popular choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is a side-by-side configuration, where one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is narrower than a standard pushchair and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transportation. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance offers more than 20 options, so you can select the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode. For those who want to take their twins on jogging or to go on more adventurous excursions with the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double buggy side-by-side into an jogger that has both kids facing forwards. This lets you keep up with your running partner while keeping your kids entertained. In general twin pushchairs can be a little heavier than single pushchairs because they come with additional features such as more spacious baskets and seats that are padded, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. It is possible that they're a little heavier than a single stroller and you'll need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to safeguard your twins. It's equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it is to ensure that it fits into your budget and lifestyle. To get single and double stroller can choose a brand that have a strong focus on sustainability and provide detailed details on their manufacturing procedures. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups online or at local events where you can talk to other parents about their experiences and suggestions. Stores You'll have to carry a lot of things for twins, so look for a spacious undercarriage basket and plenty of pockets or compartments to store your necessities. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a baby and toddler, plus has room to add a 'PiggyBack' board for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the included cocoons (PS59 each) and the altered design lets you connect them facing either direction. It features a handy standing fold that makes it easy to keep in storage between uses.
