Easy to Manoeuvre

A twin pushchair is among the most commonly used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long time so it is essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with a lot of extras that other brands will charge separately.

The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for siblings or twins of different ages as it's designed to accommodate two seats and car seats (it can also be used with two carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in size when you require the cheap double stroller seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.

In addition to the fact that it looks great and comes with plenty of features we tested, this model stood out due to its ease of use. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats so you can simply put them in and go. It's a bit long in double mode, however you can buy a "sidepack' to make it smaller for PS45.

If you have more than one child A twin pushchair from birth with a convenient and easily accessible storage space will help you keep everything organized. Pick a model that comes with a large storage basket under the seat to store all of the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A convenient cup holder and snack tray are also an excellent choice, as it will help you reach behind your children to grab drinks and snacks when they start to feel thirsty or hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs with one seat in the front are great for children with different ages, but they are more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best tandem choices for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Bambisol Double Side To Side Twin Pushchair - Compact Black Grey offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets.

It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.

The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children content and comfortable on their strolls. Be sure to look out for seats with padding, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. These will give your child the chance to stretch out and relax or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.

You should also consider twin strollers that have one handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller with one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, but they can be difficult to control and may require that you use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can modify the stroller as your baby grows. For instance, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat - making it the perfect choice for siblings of various ages.

Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins and offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. They typically have one cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for infants and the other one has a more upright posture and is suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted to a single pushchair simply by taking the front seat. They can be difficult to connect to public transport, and they may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair when going between kerbs.

Certain models can fold up smaller than others, which can be beneficial if you're strapped in storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used as a double or a single and has a wide range of carrycot and infant car seats, so you can alter to your twins' needs as they get bigger.
