Buying a Twin Pushchair

When shopping for a twin pushchair it's important to consider the various options that are available. The two main options are tandem double buggies as well as side-byside double buggies.

Whether you're taking twins out for a stroll, or have a baby and toddler at the same age, a double pushchair can be a lifesaver when it comes to keeping them content. Double buggys, also known as twin prams travel system as they're sometimes called, come in a variety of configurations to fit all kinds of families. Some are side-by-side, while others have one front and the back to accommodate narrow spaces. Some are also able to be converted into single prams when your little ones outgrow them, making them an ideal option for families with growing children.

They are more maneuverable than tandem twin buggies since the front wheels can be locked for extra stability. There is also more storage space behind them.

They are still easily maneuverable, but many have recline that is independent, meaning both kids can sit upright or in a snooze-position.
