How to choose a sleigh for twins?

Parents with two children in the winter have a rather difficult time. After all, buying a sledge for both kids is a rather expensive exercise. A pair of sleds will create a lot of problems for parents during transportation. Therefore, many moms and dads decide to purchase a special sleigh for twins. After all, with their help it is much easier to carry children over short distances, for example, to the store. This tool is quite light, small in size and capable of simultaneously carrying both babies.

This transport for children has many advantages in comparison with the usual means of transportation. Strollers for twins are large and difficult to move along the snow-covered sidewalk.

In contrast, sleds provide an opportunity to see not only the parents, but everything that happens around. Children will enjoy this walk.
