Strollers For Twins and Toddlers

Strollers for twins

A new baby is always a joy, but when twins enter the picture it can bring additional challenges to everyday life. For instance, choosing the right stroller that can meet two children's requirements.

Some strollers have the ability to accept twin infant car seats and bassinets.

When you are choosing a twin stroller, the age of your children is the most important aspect to consider. Seats for newborns should be fully reclined to allow them to lie flat. They should also have a canopy which extends far enough to provide shade and a peekaboo feature. In addition, some models are specifically designed to facilitate breastfeeding and come with an ergonomically designed reclining seat which allows mothers to nurse their twins.

If your twins are in the same age range it is possible to consider a side by side stroller. This will stop sibling fights over who is where and will make them feel more connected. If they are very different in terms of the way they behave or age or temperament, then a tandem stroller could be the best choice.

Most pushchair twin strollers can be used from birth, but if your babies are younger than 6 months you will need to choose one that can accommodate infant car seats or bassinets. For instance, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double has seating that can be connected to two infant car seat carriers and can accommodate a twin buggy from birth who is just born. The model is rather expensive, so you may prefer a more affordable stroller for your twins.

A modular stroller is another great alternative. It has an entrance seat in the front and a platform to support standing children at the back. These aren't quite as versatile as other double-seat options but they're great for older children and can be used over many years. The UPPAbaby Vist v2 Double is a good option for this, since it can accommodate two infant car seats and comes with an optional running board for older children who are mobile.

They can fit children from birth (if used with an infant car seat or bassinet) until age 4 or 5 and they are available in tandem or side-byside seating configurations.

Side-by-side strollers are smaller than tandem models and are generally easier to maneuver, particularly in crowded store aisles and narrow sidewalk corners. They are often less expensive than convertible models. Tandem strollers are larger and have smaller spaces for the two seats and might require additional space in the garage to park. They can be used by children from birth to age 4 or 5. The most effective tandem strollers have an incline seating design that puts the child in front higher so that both children can see. Some of these seats recline or are in a standing position for older children.
