Comfort

If you have twins, a double pram is a must-have to transport two kids with peace and comfort. What to look for when buying a double stroller is a challenge. There are a variety of options, from styles to price points.

No matter if you own a side by tandem pram or a tandem double the most important thing is to ensure that your children are happy and comfortable in their seats. This is why you should ensure that the seat fabric is soft and durable, the back support is adequate and they have plenty of headroom.

The ease of pushing the pram is also crucial. It isn't necessary to struggle with the weight of a double stroller, especially when you are just starting out.

It is a good idea to look for twin prams that have an easy fold feature so that you can compact travel stroller it when not in use. You should also consider a stroller that has both rear and front suspension. This will help you to get over bumps easier.

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

When you are choosing a twin pram, you should consider checking whether it comes in a travel system bundle. This makes it easier to buy everything you need in one go and can save you money in the end. If you decide to purchase a travel system, make sure that it comes with things like a sun canopy and rain cover to shield your little ones from the elements. You may also want consider adding on extras like cups and snack trays for your children. As you grow in the number of children you have you'll require more food and drinks!

Safety

It is essential to have a twin pram for families with two children with similar ages. You must pick one that is suitable for your needs. If you're looking to purchase a side-by-side twin pram or a tandem double pram, there's a wide range of models available with different prices and features.

Many people opt for a side by side twin pram because it allows you to configure the seats (or pram bassinets) to various configurations based on the needs of your family. For example, you may prefer your twins to be able to sit independently or have them face each at each other while looking out at the world around them. Or, you may want them to be able lay flat in the bassinet on their pram (which is the best position for newborns to aid their spinal development and reduce the risk of SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

Tandem double prams permit you to put your infant in one seat while your toddler is in the other. This arrangement is particularly useful when your children are older and no longer need to be carried around or are capable of walking.

Check that your twin pram and travel system is in compliance with Australian standards. This includes having a foot brake clearly marked in red and is linked to the hand brake to stop accidental use. The brakes should be simple to engage and easily operated by one or both of you, even with your hands full.

Finally, consider how much space the twin pram takes up when it is folded and if it is able to fit in your car boot. Some twin prams are long when folded, which can create problems in tight spaces, and on footpaths that are crowded or public transport.

Consider buying a travel system package that lets you combine your stroller of choice with car seats for babies. It is possible to easily move your twins from the car to the pushchair without causing any disturbance to them. The UPPAbaby Vista twin pram is a great choice for this and comes with everything you require to get started with carrycots that are suitable from birth, mesa i-size car seats and mesa I-fix bases.

User-Friendliness

A twin pram offers parents many of the advantages of single prams. The majority of models come with a broad range of features that are designed to keep your little ones comfortable and happy. A large canopy, hoods with peek-a-boo eyes and reclining seats keep your children safe from heat and the bad weather. Certain models come with huge under-seat storage baskets so you can store all your household's belongings.

The way a twin pram folds is another important factor. It should have an easy-to-use mechanism that lets you fold the buggy in a way that it is easy to store when you're done with it. This is especially useful in the event of being late or running an excursion while your twins are with you.

Some double prams have air-filled, larger tyres. These are designed to reduce stress on your child's spine as well as hips, and increase maneuverability. These tyres are also great on uneven terrain, which makes a tandem stroller an ideal option for long hikes or walks with your little ones.

A good twin pram should have handlebars that can be adjusted to accommodate all different heights. This feature is extremely beneficial, particularly if you have older children who are used to strollers that do not adjust as they get older.

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

Many parents who are first-time parents choose to future-proof their stroller by choosing a model that is convertible from a single model to a twin. The Graco Duo Glider, for example, is a light twin pram that fits any Graco car seat making it a great choice for growing families.

Style

When shopping for twin prams, you need to be crucial to think about the design that works best for your family. For instance, you might want to buy a side-byside twin pram if there is a close age gap between your children or opt for a tandem stroller with the older child sitting on top of the younger one.

You should also think about the amount of space you would like in the basket, and whether you need storage spaces like seat-back pockets, or bags for your handlebars. Some double buggies are equipped with additional accessories to simplify life with twins. These include hoods which protect the seats from sun or rain, and foot covers that make the seat fabric cleaner.

If you are a first-time parent it is recommended to use a reversible double stroller like the DUO2 by Bugaboo is a great option. It can be used either as a single stroller until your second child is born, or it can be converted into an inline twin pram to use right away. The canopy is large and provides great protection from the sun and wind and its hoods that peek-aboo allow you to check on your child without disturbing them. The under-seat basket is large and is ideal for storing your nappy bag and any other baby items you need with you.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 twin buggy is also a multi-functional model. It can be used as a mono mode with the older child seated behind the younger one, or as a twin buggy that is side-by-side, and it can accommodate up to 29 combinations of toddler seats, carry cots and baby car seats. It has a frame that expands in width to accommodate the extra seat. The suspension is smart and ideal for bumpy surfaces. The UPPAbaby PiggyBack board can be incorporated into the buggy to make it a triple buggy.

If you're planning to be taking your twins for jogging, then a jogging-specific twin pram is the best way to take them. It is easier to maneuver and its large tires can take on any terrain. It is recommended to test the stroller's ability to push before purchasing it. Also look for models with a basket that can be opened at various angles.
