Are you looking for a twin pushchair?
If you are that means you have double trouble and need something easy to handle!
You might have twins or children of different ages so it’s important to check what ages a twin pushchair is suitable for. There are many different styles of twin pushchairs by lots of different, well-known brands so it is a good idea to compare and contrast all the different technical specifications and features, as well as check the sizes when open and when folded. If you are using a twin pushchair around a town you really need to make sure that it fits through standard width doorways.
There is a slight difference between a twin pushchair and a tandem pushchair in that a tandem pushchair is designed for one baby to sit behind another rather then alongside. It’s narrower than a twin pushchair as it is the same kind of width as a regular pushchair for one baby but is longer so it’s important to check its size when folded.
Tandem pushchairs are good if you have two children of different ages as you can generally recline the rear seat fully for a newborn baby and adjust both seats independently. Twin pushchairs are generally suitable for two babies or toddlers up to the age of four. They generally have two seats alongside each other that can be fully reclined with a range of positions.
Both Maclaren and Silver Cross, two of the most famous brands, make a range of excellent twin pushchairs. The Maclaren Twin Techno stroller fits the brief of fitting through standard doorways and its lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, really important when pushing two children, as they can be heavy! It is suitable for two babies or children of the same or different ages, suitable from birth.
It has lockable front swivel wheels, removable large shopping baskets, front wheel suspension, a sturdy, aeronautical-quality aluminium frame, ergonomically optimised, extendable handles, two independent square hoods with UV protective viewing windows and sun visors and reflective panels for evening safety. It also has 5 fully reclining position seats that operate independently, a 5-point safety harness for maximum security, foot-operated parking brakes and a carry handle for easy portability.
The Silver Cross Pop Duo-Double Stroller is another twin pushchair that is suitable from birth. It has an individual recline system that lies back for sleeping and a one-hand folding system. It has lockable swivel wheels, ergonomic comfort grip handles, a large easy access shopping basket, a large twin hood for shade with an observation window, a ventilated rain cover, twin head support cushions and footmuffs.
Lots of other brands make twin pushchairs including Mountain Buggy, Jané, Cosatto, Urban Detour and Mothercare.
