How To Save Money On Pushchair Twin
Buying a Twin Pushchair
Direct4Baby offers a range of innovative twin and double pushchairs.
Our top picks are the egg2 dual-use pushchairs. They open in a new window, which allows you to adapt them for newborns and toddlers alike by combining seats and carrycots.
Side-by-Side
The children are placed side-byside in a double running stroller stroller with a side-byside design. It can be fitted with two fixed seats. They are usually narrower than a single pushchair, so easier to get through doorways, and more evenly weighted, which makes them easy to manoeuvre between kerbs.
Some have seats that are adjustable and allow one child to lie flat, while others can accommodate carrycots. This kind of twin is an excellent choice from birth, and is also a great choice through toddlerhood and beyond.
Some models, such as the Cybex Aton M5, can be transformed into a single stroller that has a large basket on the side. This is a unique option that is not just practical but also fun for kids. It is crucial to make sure that any accessories you purchase are compatible with the model you have.
Tandem
The tandem pushchair is placed behind the twin pushchair, and provides two spaces for children. This arrangement is particularly good for children of the same age as it lets you put your infant in a comfortable carrycot, and your toddler in a seat unit, or a car seat (though not all models can accommodate both). Many of the top twin strollers come with an adjustable front seat and the rear seat which is upright.
The Cybex Venus is an excellent model of a twin pushchair. The rear seat is full recline and is suitable from birth, whereas the front seat can face either way - this means that your child can look at their sibling or you can face them to the world to have more interaction. Add a newborn cocoon to both seats to create a lying-flat place for your children. The rear seat is equipped with an hood, raincover and an entire recline.
You can also select a model such as the Joolz Geo 3 which has been constructed with a rear-facing seat that pops up to reveal a spacious shopping basket when not in use. This lets you easily move a double pushchair around narrow doorways and is an ideal choice for urban adventures. The bent frame and four-wheel suspension make it ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces too.
Some tandem pushchairs, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2 start out as single buggies. A second seat is then added to the front, back or underneath. It's a cost-effective choice that lasts longer and gives you ultra flexibility if you're expecting a second child in the near future.
The egg2 is a classic model of this kind of twin pushchair that's been designed to be used in a variety of configurations and has been loved by parents due to its sleek design and premium fabrics. It can be used either as a single pushchair, with a carrycot, or as twins with two seats. Also, it can even be used as a family rig for three children, with the addition of a 'piggyback' board that is attached to the chassis.
Convenience
The right twin pushchair will change your routine, whether you're jogging in busy shopping centres or enjoying peaceful walks in the park. There are numerous options from tandem pushchairs that align your kids together to twin buggies that are compact and designed for tight spaces. The most important factor to consider is whether the twin pushchair is sturdy enough to stand up to the wear and tear of two kids while providing enough space for their belongings.
It's a good idea to try out a variety of models before purchasing a twin pushchair. You'll have a better idea of how it's easy to steer and stop your pushchair as well as how easily it folds and stores away when not in use. Be sure to check the weight to make sure it is not too heavy for you to carry around and put in your car.
There are a variety of accessories for twin pushchairs, including rain covers, foot muffs and drink holders. A lot of top brands offer a range of these extras that are available for their twin pushchairs, so take the time to look at the range and see what is the best double stroller fit for your family. It's important to note that some twin pushchairs might include a variety of these extras as standard, so make sure to thule double stroller-check before buying.
Twin pushchairs can become quite weighty, so it's vital to select the one that's able to fit through doorways and other spaces that are tight. If you're unsure then you can always ask someone on staff at your local store to measure some door frames. This will give you an idea of the space you'll need to have for twin pushchairs.
The popular twin pushchair comes with a range of useful accessories included such as reversible seat liners and foot muffs as well as rain covers. This is an excellent choice for parents who are looking for a twin pram which can be used from the time of birth and accommodates children up to four years of age.
