In 2004, the Reichardt couple founded a baby stroller company and named it Bumbleride. The birth of their first child inspired them to take this step. They design Bumbleride strollers from the ground up, designing every detail. The fabrics, metal frames and plastics that make up the wheelchairs are carefully selected for their reliability, durability and function, as well as their environmental impact.
Features of strollers for twins
If two children appear in a family at once, then they need much more attention. And with that, the choice of walking aids and twin beds also becomes more complicated. For twins, two-seater strollers are produced, the same products are used for the weather. By design, stroller models are divided into several types.
- Products where children sit side by side. This appears to be that the seats or bassinets are mounted on the frame in close proximity to each other. The two crumbs that sit in this structure look at the world in the same way and are at the same distance from their parents. Strollers of this type are usually equipped with one common seat or bassinet, or two different ones. And the last method is the most acceptable as it offers the potential to adjust both seats for each of the children.
- Products where the seats are located one behind the other. This is the smallest and most mobile structure, but at the same time the little one that sits in the back has limitations, he does not see the world around him behind the first child. There are also difficulties when folding the front seat into a prone position, while the child sitting behind does not have space for legs.
- Products where children are located back to back. This device does not seem to be comfortable for parents, as it causes difficulties in transportation. And at the same time, it is inconvenient for children if they want to contact each other.
Advantages and disadvantages
A twin stroller presents many benefits:
- they take up little space, noticeably less than two single models;
- in most cases, such products are much cheaper in price than two single structures;
- easy to use: if each parent prefers to walk alone with their children, then this cannot be done with two strollers.

Before choosing
In order to choose a stroller model for two children, you need to take into account some of the nuances.
Before going to the store, you need to imagine the possibility of walking to the store with children, and you also need to think about where the stroller will be stored. If the openings for the doors and the elevator are quite narrow, then it is easier to buy a stroller for twins with seats that are located with backs to each other. If you do not intend to transport a stroller in the trunk of a car or use an elevator, then it is better to give preference to a stroller where the seats are located next to each other, this is the most convenient model for kids.
When choosing a stroller for twins, special attention should be paid to the design itself, it must be more durable than a single one. It is necessary to choose a product with large wheels, a soft cushioning system, a comfortable cradle, the presence of natural fabrics and a secured security system.
It is quite difficult to use a twin stroller when it gets dark. You need to have reflective stripes on your stroller so that you can see it in the dark.
