What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair could be a great choice. They provide two spaces for your infants and usually come with comfortable carrycots for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to-use push handles and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack tray for children and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem Twin Stroller Side By Side pushchair lets both children to face each other. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to cause sibling squabbles over which side to sit in. It is also a good option when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they are also larger and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair and can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to buy a brand new buggy once your older child is no longer using it. However, it might not be the best choice for twins in the early months as they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger that can be used in a double or single mode and has two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward steering wheel, so it can also be used on trails that are off-road. It is heavier than other alternatives, but it has added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either seat in the main compartment or with a nifty double kit that is attached to the existing single seat. It has one swivel on the front and all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers we tested. It is also compatible with a variety of car seats.

This stroller is narrow and single-to-double. It is perfect for urban excursions thanks to its simple maneuverability and large shopping basket. It comes with a UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view in the front seat for both children to enjoy the view.

It can also accommodate the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is the flexibility to allow you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your children get older. The frame starts as one pushchair but has adaptors to add a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These models are typically larger than the standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are more maneuverable up and down kerbs.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a fantastic example of this type. It can be configured in 25 different ways using seats, car seat and carrycots. Our test team liked the way it is slim and light is for a dual-seater, while also offering a spacious and comfortable ride for the kids. In addition, the smart and intuitive recline lever that is one-handed located on the back of the seat unit makes it simple to get your child in a lie-flat position.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can significantly affect its functionality. You should consider a variety of options that allow you to alter the direction that your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation, or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seats and bassinets that allow siblings to face each other either with you or the exciting road ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It can be used either in Mono or small double stroller mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

This type of twin pushchair has the benefit of giving both children the same view and is generally more compact double stroller than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in public spaces and through doors.

If you want to take their twins jogging or go on more adventurous adventures, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy an jogger that has both kids facing towards the front. This lets you keep up with your running partner, while keeping your kids entertained.

You might also notice that they're a little heavier than a single stroller, and that you need to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Look for a car with a large undercarriage storage basket as well as numerous compartments and pockets to store your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby as well as add a 'PiggyBack' board for older kids (PS120).
