Which Twin Pushchairs Are Right For Your Family?

If you have twins or your children are close in age, a double pushchair can help you get them from A to B safely and effortlessly. Some of the models in this line 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 kids of similar ages who will share the same twin pushchair, a side-by-side model will probably suit you best. Also called a tandem or duo pushchair, these types of models usually offer different seating options so that you can easily transition from one child to the next, depending on their age and preferences. They are ideal for twins or siblings who are similar in age, as they will be able to be seated next to one another rather than facing each other, which can make them feel more comfortable and less like they are being confined to a couple of seats.

Side-by-side buggies are often slimmer than you might think so they're an ideal choice for those who don't want the new double infant stroller stroller to be bulky or impractical. Choose a model that is elegant and manageable with plenty of storage space. A large shopping basket is also important. It is also important to ensure that the seats are equipped with recline positions, as well with all the features to keep your children comfortable such headrests, canopies, and footrests.

You should also consider how much the double buggy weighs, particularly if you have a baby or toddler and their car seat(s) or carrycot(s).

Tandem buggies

A tandem pushchair is a fantastic option if you're expecting twins or have two children of similar age.
