What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair could be a good option. They provide two places for your infants to travel and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Find models with push handles that are easy to use and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cups and snack trays for parents and children are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face each other. Some parents prefer this style because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which seat. It's also a good option for places such as the zoo, where the children are able to easily view each their fellow. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggys however they are generally larger and may feel longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single to double buggy pushchairs, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins in the early months, as they'll need to be of a similar weight and age.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a double buggy side by side or single buggy, and can hold two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel which means it can be used for off-road trails. It is heavier than other alternatives, but it has added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment, or with a handy sit n stand double stroller kit that attaches to the existing single seat. It features one swivel on the front and all-wheel suspension that makes it more sturdy than other joggers we have tested. It is also compatible with a wide range of car seats.

This compact, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban adventures with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It features a UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade and an open window in the front seat so that both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have recline built-in however it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants and newborns. It can also be fitted with a toddler's seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that lets you alter the layout as your kids develop. It starts out as a single pram with adaptors that can be attached to the frame for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are typically larger than the standard buggy but can often be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable through kerbs and up and down. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat in tandem which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a fantastic illustration of this type. It can be set up in a variety of ways, including seats, car seat and carrycots. Our team was impressed by how slim and lightweight it is for a two-seater as well as offering a spacious and comfortable ride for children. The simple and easy one-handed reclining lever at the rear of the seat unit also makes it simple for your child to lie flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It has removable seats that can be placed to face either direction, or reverse, making it ideal for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that are attached to the middle frame could accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a a major impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. You should look for several options that will permit you to change the direction in which your child's seat faces depending on their mood, the circumstances or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other either with you or the exciting route ahead. The frame expands to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used in Mono or double single pushchair mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is the side-by-side arrangement in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin pushchair gives both children the same view and is generally more compact than a single pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations so you can choose the best configuration for your family. it can even take two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins jogging or for more adventurous adventures, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy an jogger that has both kids facing forwards. This allows you to keep up with your running companion while keeping the kids happy.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they have extra features such as larger baskets and more padding for the seats. You may also find that they're a bit more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you might need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.

It is equally important to assess the quality of a double buggy with carrycot pushchair. This is because it is to ensure that it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. Choose brands that are committed to sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for money. You can also gain valuable insights into the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or attending local events to talk to other parents about their experience and suggestions.

Storage

You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins, so make sure you have a large undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets or compartments to store your essentials. Make sure that the storage spaces are easily accessible using the seats in different positions as well. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the cocoons included (PS59 each), while the rejigged design means you can attach them facing either way. It comes with a convenient standing fold that makes it easy to keep in storage between uses.
