Strollers for twins: what are they and what should I look for when buying?

Choosing a stroller for twins is not an easy task, and you need to approach it with all responsibility. The main thing that you need to pay attention to is the dimensions and maneuverability of the vehicle, as well as the location of places for kids. In the modern market of children's goods and accessories, a wide variety of models of strollers for twins and even triplets are available. We suggest you get acquainted with the most popular options.

Side-by-side strollers for twins

These models are a design where the kids are sitting next to each other. A good illustration is the TFK stroller for twins. The space of the cradle or the walking block can be either single or separate for each child. Of course, it is better to give preference to a stroller with autonomous seats, as this allows you to create individual conditions for each baby: for example, if one baby wants to take a nap while walking and the other is awake, then only one back can be lowered and the children will not interfere with each other. Another significant plus of such models is the equal arrangement of both babies: they see their mother equally well and equally observe the world around them. A significant difficulty is that the strollers for twins of this type are quite wide and bulky. Before purchasing them, you must definitely measure the width of the doorway in your apartment, elevator and staircase. And even when folded, such a child’s “transport” may not fit in the trunk of a car if a trip is to be made.

Models for twins "tandem" ("train")

Prams for twins of such a plan assume that the babies are located in them either on the same level one after another (face to face), or by the principle of seats in the stadium: the back seat is fixed above the front one. A clear advantage of such children's vehicles, compared with the models "side by side", is that in width they are no different from standard strollers for one child, and therefore will definitely go into any doorway. Another thing is a significantly increased length and, as a consequence, a decrease in handling and maneuverability. In addition, if one child sits behind another, his mother and his surroundings are much worse seen, and legs may also not fit. The solution to this problem may be the multilevel arrangement of the cradles / seats or fixing them on the chassis face to face.

Another interesting option for implementing the transport concept for several kids is transformers: models that allow two different modules to be fixed on one chassis, for example, a cradle and a walking seat, a cradle and a car seat, a car seat and a walking block, etc. Some strollers also have additional space for installing the third module. In this regard, such a vehicle can be used to transport not only twins, but also the weather, as well as children with a small age difference. The difficulties with such a stroller are still the same: quite a lot of weight and dimensions, not very high maneuverability and handling.

So, with the main types of vehicles for several kids, everything is clear. As for the choice of a stroller, it is better to buy it in specialized stores or shopping centers, where you can touch, touch and examine everything, as well as ride around the hall to understand how comfortable and maneuverable it is. If you decide to make an order through the online store, then try to negotiate with the seller so that (in which case) you can issue a refund, since the strollers always seem much more attractive in the picture, but in fact it may turn out to be different beautiful and comfortable.
