Finding the Best Twin Pushchair
Whether you have twins or a baby and toddler, finding the best twin pushchair is essential to keep them at ease on your journeys. These unique models are lightweight and easy to set up and have lots of features for toddlers.
The egg2 is a sleek buggy that can be used for either a single or double buggy. It comes with 2 carrycots/seats. It also comes with five reclining options for maximum comfort, and is ideal for rough terrain.
Side-by-Side
Parents who want to keep their children close and within sight should consider twin pushchairs travel systems. They're also more compact than tandem strollers and are easier to maneuver. They may not fit through certain doors and hallways. It's important to double-check the dimensions.
The best twin pushchairs designed for side-by-side use are constructed of durable materials and have many features that allow you to adjust to your expanding family. Most of them feature seats that recline to near flat and can be adjusted in multiple positions. This includes two different lie-flat positions specifically for newborns. They also come with a large amount of storage space to store your items of clothing and other gear. Some have a huge shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode, giving you easy access to items your kids require on outings.
An excellent example of a fantastic side-by-side twin pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It's the slimmest twin pushchair on the market and has a footprint that's roughly the same as a single buggy. It's also extremely light and easy to maneuver across various terrains, which makes it ideal for those who love to go on outdoor adventures. It comes with a large canopy and UPF 50+ material to ensure maximum protection against the elements.
Another great side-by-side twin pushchair is Cybex's Wave, which features an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat. It can be used from birth as double stroller (and can fit two car seats for children or carrycots) and it also comes with a neat one click fold that our Lab experts appreciate. Our testers also found it very comfortable for kids to ride in, and the seats are roomy with lots of legroom.
The UPPAbaby vist V2 is a top choice for families who have two toddlers or infants. It can fit two infant car seats and is designed to grow with your children. The two seats can be turned into a sit-stand configuration for older siblings. The seats can also be adjusted to a flat position and have a cover that zips in for extra protection. Its easy one-click fold makes folding a breeze and it has useful suspension that helps it tackle bumps and lumps.
Lightweight
The Graco DuoRider is a lightweight twin pushchair that has simple fold that will not weigh down your vehicle. This side-byside buggy can accommodate two children in comfort, with an easy one-hand fold that lets you store it in the tightest of places. It also has a sturdy steel chassis that is among the tiniest available. It also expands widthways to accommodate twin seat(s) or a carrycot(s).
The reversible DuoRider seats allow siblings to face each other, you or the world around them. The calf support, and canopy can be adjusted independently to ensure that both children have a pleasant ride. It is suitable for babies up to toddlers and can be inserted through doors that are standard which makes it a great option for twin mothers.
The egg2 is a different double stroller that can be reversible, which is ideal for families with young children. This stylish single-to dual stroller can fit 2 infant car seats or carrycots making it a fantastic double buggy. It also comes with a huge basket, which means you can carry all the necessities.
It's worth considering a lightweight twin pushchair with accessories like sunshades and rain covers to make life easier especially when traveling. Cup holders and snack tray are useful for parents, too.
The Vista 2 from UPPAbaby is a stylish city-bicycle that is surprisingly small and light, ideal for public transport or shopping aisles. It can be used to transport twins, a baby, toddler and even three kids with the help of an "PiggyBack board" (sold separately at a price of P120). It also comes with an front suspension for more rough surfaces. Its single-hand fold is convenient and our lab experts are impressed by the speed of its opening and shuts. Additionally, it comes with a generous basket and rear and front suspensions to improve handling on difficult terrain. The only downside is that the fabric isn't as luxurious as the other strollers we've reviewed. It's a reasonably priced twin stroller.
Tandem
A tandem twin pushchair can be used by larger families, twins and even a mix of both. It is a single stroller that can accommodate two infant seats or carrycots. Many double travel pushchair systems use this type of design and are compatible with a range of car seats (although not all). This type of pushchair could be wider than a standard side-by-side, but it is more convenient to pass through doors and into public transport. It may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs due its weight. It may also require dismantling in order to be able to fit in the car.
Some tandem buggy frames can be used as a single frame with the addition of a 'rumble' seat in front, behind or under which is ideal for children of various ages. One such example is the iCandy Peach, which offers 16 seating options, as well as an easy fold when it is not in use. The Joolz Geo is another smart alternative for those who live in cities, while the UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be used with twins, or a baby and toddler with its "piggyback" board included.
The iCandy Wave also makes a super-simple twin pushchair, as it can be used as a single with your toddler in the front or as a double facing the parent with both children facing forwards. It folds easily by a single button and is compatible with a range of car seats. However, you will need to purchase adapters for cars that aren't made by iCandy.
The Phil & Teds Sport is a stylish tandem stroller with narrow dimensions that enable you to maneuver through narrow aisles and tight spaces, while its all-wheel suspension and a single swivel front wheel make it a capable off-roader for those rainy days out. The stroller may not be as lightweight as other models but it's an affordable option that comes with many extras rival brands sell separately. The seat is at a decent height to ensure that children of a certain age can sit comfortably.
Convenient
The twin stroller (also called duo or tandem strollers) is a fantastic option for families who need to transport children of similar age. Most twin strollers come with side-by-side seating, however some come in different configurations to allow you to pick the most comfortable option for your family.
The Graco DuoRider, for example features an easy fold that can be folded with one hand and comes packed with customisable features for comfort that both children will enjoy. You can adjust the recline, calf support, and canopy to fit your child, which makes this an ideal choice for mums who want a simple double pushchair.
It can accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It can also be used in mono mode for smaller frames that are easier to maneuver through doors and on public transport. The iCandy Wave is popular with parents who are conscious of their appearance and can be customized by adding a variety of accessories to fit your individual style.
The innovative frame that expands in size and allows seats to be placed and removed with a single click was a huge hit with our lab experts. The lab experts also liked how spacious it was with a large shopping basket with front and rear suspensions to help with bumps and uneven surfaces. They did notice it was a bit long in twin mode and, when using the two carrycots or chairs, both children have to face forwards, which might be an issue for some.
The Joolz Urban Glide offers another great option for jogging. It can be adjusted to ensure that it can be used with two or three children in car seats. It has a large canopy that can be expanded to give enough coverage and a peekaboo feature which children and parents alike will enjoy. It's heavier than other models, however our experts in the lab found that it moved smoothly. It also had plenty of storage in its undercarriage.
