What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great choice if you have two children or kids with similar ages. They provide two spaces for your children and are usually equipped with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy-to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons such as cups holders and a tray for snacks for kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing both children to face each their respective faces. This is the preferred method of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over which side to sit in. It is also ideal for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, but they are also more spacious and longer when they are being pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs and then can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This can be an economical option for families with more than one child and it means that you don't have to buy a new buggy when your older child outgrows it. It might not be the most suitable option for twins in the early months, as they will need to be of the same weight and age.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can handle off-road trails, too. It is a little heavier than other models but the extra weight brings added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. With the single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.

This narrow, single-to-double stroller is ideal for urban adventures due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It features an UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade, and an open window in the front seat so both children can take in the view. The model doesn't come with an integrated recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat space for infants and newborns. It also fits a toddler seat to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides a flexible option, allowing you to adapt the design of your pushchair as your kids grow. It starts out as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that connect to the frame to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be wider than a typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are much easier to maneuver between kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers in tandem which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great example of this type. It can be set up in a variety of ways, including seats, car seat and carrycots. The Peach 7 from iCandy is an excellent model of a double buggy that can be set up in 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. The simple and easy one-handed reclining lever at the back of the unit makes it easy for your child to lay down flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another example of convertible twin strollers that has removable seats and can be configured to face forward or backward, making it suitable for twins of all age groups. It also accommodates an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board, which attaches to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could significantly affect its functionality. You should consider several options that will allow you to change the direction in which your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, situation, or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 twin stroller, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face each other and you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame expands to allow for an additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-by-side arrangement is a favorite choice for parents who are just starting out. One child is seated behind the second. This type of twin pushchair offers the advantage of giving both children the same view. It generally narrower than a single pushchair, making it easier to navigate in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance offers more than 20 options, so you can select the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who wish to take their twins for a jog or go on more adventurous adventures with the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side Double stroller with parent tray buggy a jogger with both children facing towards the front. This lets you keep pace with your running companion while keeping your children happy.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than single pushchairs because they come with extra features, such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before deciding on this type of stroller. You may also find that they're a little harder to maneuver than a single pushchair and you may have to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

Verifying the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as making sure it's within your budget and lifestyle. Choose brands that are committed to sustainability and offer detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for your money. You can also gain valuable insights into the ideal Chicco OHlalà Twin Double Stroller: Lightweight Compact Versatile pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events to talk to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.

Stores

You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins so choose a spacious undercarriage basket and plenty of pockets or compartments to stash your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even if the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a baby and toddler and also include a 'PiggyBack' table for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). With the new design, you can attach the cocoons either facing forward or backward. It also has a handy standing fold for easy storage between uses.
