What to Look For in a Twin Pram

If you're expecting twins or two children close in age, you'll require a quality twin pram to help you navigate life on the go. Here are all the best choices!

Choose between tandem inline or side-by-side configurations. Some twin prams can also be used as travel systems that include car capsules.

Comfort

If you have twins, a double stroller is a must-have to transport two children with comfort and with ease. What to look for when buying the double buggy is a daunting task. There are a variety of choices, from designs to price points.

No matter if you have a side by twin pram or a tandem double, the most important thing is that your children are content and happy in their seats. To ensure this, make sure that the seat fabric is soft and durable, the back support is good and they have plenty of headroom.

Another factor to consider is how easy it is to push. You don't want to struggle with a heavy double buggy, particularly in the beginning when you'll be in and around a lot.

It's a good idea choose a twin stroller that can be folded with just one click. This will allow you to pack the stroller when not in use. You should also look for a pram with front and rear suspension. This will assist you to avoid bumps more easily.

First-time parents usually opt to secure their pram for the future purchase by choosing one that is twin and a single pram. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a excellent example. It can be arranged to accommodate a pair or seats, a pair or bassinets for the pram, or even three children with the addition of a 'piggyback board' (available separately).

It's worth checking whether a twin stroll comes with a travel system bundle. This makes it easier to purchase everything you need in one go and can save you money in the long run. If you decide to purchase a travel system, make sure that it includes things such as a sun canopy and rain cover to protect your little ones from the elements. You might also want to think about adding extras such as cup holders and snack trays for your kids. You'll find that the more kids you have the more drinks and snacks you'll require!

Safety

It's essential to have a twin pram available for families with two children of similar ages. It is important to choose a model that fits your needs. There are a variety of options available, whether you want to buy a tandem double or side-by-side twin pram. Each model comes with different features and price points.

Many people choose the side-by-side twin pram as it allows you to configure the seats (or pram bassinets) into a variety of combinations based on your family's needs. It is possible that you want your twins to be seated apart or face each other to look out at the world. You may also prefer them to lie flat in their pram bassinets (which is the ideal position for infants to help in their development of their spines and decrease the risk of SUID which is also known as SIDS).

Tandem double prams are an option that allows you to put your children in one seat and your toddler in the second. This is especially useful when your children are older and no longer need to be carried or are capable of walking.

Whatever style you prefer of twin pram, check that it is compliant with Australian safety standards. It is crucial that the foot brake is clearly marked in red, and linked to both the hand brake and foot brake to prevent misuse. The brakes must be simple to turn on and operated by either of you, even when your hands full.

Think about how much space your twin pram takes up when folded, and whether it will fit into your car boot. Some twin prams are quite long when folded, which can cause problems in tight spaces and on crowded footpaths or public transport.

If you want an all-inclusive twin pram solution you should consider purchasing a travel system bundle that lets you pair your chosen pram with baby car seats. You can easily transfer your twins from the car to the foldable pushchair without disturbing them. The UPPAbaby Vista twin pram is a great choice for this, and comes with everything you require to get started, including carrycots suitable for babies from birth, mesa I-size car seats, and mesa isofix bases.

Easy of Use

A twin pram can provide parents with many advantages over single prams. Most models have a wide variety of features designed to keep your kids at ease and content. A large canopy, hoods with peek-a-boo eyes and reclining seats shield your children from the sun and the harsh weather. Some come with large under-seat baskets so that you have enough space to store all the belongings of your family.

Another crucial aspect of twin prams is the way it folds. It should have a simple mechanism that allows you to conveniently store the buggy once you're done with it. This can be particularly helpful if you're running late or heading out on an errand with your kids.

Some double prams come with air-filled, larger tyres. They are designed to reduce stress on your child’s spine and hips and improve maneuverability. These tyres are also great on uneven terrain, which makes a tandem pram an excellent option for long walks or hikes with your kids.

In addition to the tyres, a good quality twin pram should have a handlebar that is adjustable to accommodate a variety of heights. This feature is very beneficial, particularly if you have older kids who are used to using strollers that aren't able to adjust as they get older.

A twin side by side pram is a great choice for siblings who are close in age, as it lets them interact with each other and play together while on the move. A tandem pram is more for children of different ages, as it can accommodate a variety of seating options. These include two infant car seats, toddler seats or baby carry cots.

Many first-time parents decide to future-proof their stroller by purchasing one that can be converted from a single model to a twin. The Graco Duo Glider, for instance, is a light twin pram which can fit any Graco car seat, making it a flexible option for families that are growing.

Style

When you are shopping for twin prams, it is important to choose the style that works best for your family. For instance, you might want to buy a side-byside twin pram when there is an age gap that is close between your children or opt for a tandem stroller with the older child seated behind the younger one.

Think about how much storage space you'll require, including seat-back pockets and handlebar bags. Some double buggies come with extra accessories to make life with twins a is a little easier, like seats with hoods to protect them from rain or sun and foot covers that keep the seat fabric clean.

An excellent option for first-time parents is a reversible twin pram, like the DUO2 from Bugaboo that can be used as a single buggy until your second child arrives or you can make it an inline double pram and use it straight away. Its large canopy gives exceptional protection from the sun and wind and its hoods with peek-a-boo designs are designed to let you look in on your children without disrupting them. The under-seat basket is large and is ideal for storing your nappy bag as well as any other baby paraphernalia you need with you.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 twin buggy is also a versatile model. It can be used in mono mode, placing the older child in front of the younger one, or as a twin buggy that is side-by-side. It can accommodate up to 29 combinations of toddler seats and carry cots as and baby car seats. It has a frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. The suspension is nimble and is ideal for surfaces with bumps. It can also be used as a triple buggy by the addition of UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board (available separately).

If you're planning to take your twins on jogging excursions or other jogging activities, then a twin pram is the way to go. It will be easier to manoeuvre and its oversized tires can deal with any terrain.
