Should I convert to a double or twin?

Choosing between a double or twin pushchair can be a significant decision for parents. Understanding the key differences and benefits of each option can help ensure you select the best setup for your family's needs. Below, we break down the distinctions and essential factors to consider.

Double vs. Twin: What’s the Difference?

A double pushchair is designed to accommodate two children of different ages, such as a toddler and a newborn. These pushchairs typically offer configurations that allow for different seating positions, ensuring both children are comfortable.

A twin pushchair, on the other hand, is specifically designed for two children of the same age, such as twins. iCandy twin pushchairs feature a tandem design, meaning one seat is positioned in front of the other, offering a more compact solution while maintaining comfort for both children.

Factors to Consider

When deciding between a double or twin pushchair, consider the following key factors:

  • Age Gap: If you have a toddler and a newborn, a double pushchair may be the best option, as it can be adapted to accommodate both ages. If you have twins, a twin pushchair offers equal seating and weight distribution.
  • Types of Outings: If you often navigate busy urban areas, a tandem double pushchair (with one seat in front of the other) may be more convenient due to its narrower design.
  • Size and Manoeuvrability: Twin pushchairs in a tandem design provide a more compact solution compared to side-by-side models, making it easier to fit through doorways and manoeuvre in tight spaces.
  • Use Cases: Consider where and how often you will use the pushchair. If you frequently travel by car, ensure the pushchair folds easily and fits in your boot. If you enjoy long walks, suspension and wheel design are important factors.
