What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies that are similar age, a lightweight twin stroller pushchair could be a great choice. They offer two places for your little ones and usually come with comfortable carrycots for infants and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Find models that have easy-to-use push handles and an GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cups and snack trays for both kids and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing the children to look at each other. This is the preferred method of parents who believe it less likely to cause sibling fights over who is sitting where. It is also a good option for trips to places like the zoo where both kids can see each other easily. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggy however they are generally larger and may feel longer when they are pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is an affordable option for families with more than one child and it means that you don't have to purchase an entirely new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. It's not the best choice for twins who are in their beginning stages, since they will need to be the same weight and age.

The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a double buggy converts to single or single buggy, and can hold two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off road double buggy-road trails as well. It is heavier than other options however it offers durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment or with a nifty double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than many other joggers we have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too.

The model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be paired with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lie-flat area for infants and newborns. It can also be equipped with a toddler seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that lets you alter the configuration as your children develop. The frame starts as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors attached to it to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are typically bigger than typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are much easier to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. They also allow you to use a toddler seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots side-byside which is great for siblings of various age.

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 seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from the iCandy brand is an excellent model of a double buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways, by using car seats, seats and carrycots. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever on the back of the unit also makes it simple for your child to lay on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be set to face forwards or backwards, making it ideal for twins of any age. It can also accommodate an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair may affect its functionality. Look out for multiple options so that you can switch up the direction of your child's seats based on their mood or the circumstances, as well as continuing to use the same ones as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another and you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It is able to be used in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

A popular choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement in which one child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It is typically narrower than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to maneuver in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations, so you can choose the perfect set-up for your family. it can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, made for twins, to a jogger. Both kids will face towards the forward direction. This allows you to keep up with your running companion and keeps the kids content as they explore.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than their single counterparts because they come with additional features such as more spacious baskets and seats that are padded, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this kind of stroller. You might also discover that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair and you might need to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.

Verifying the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as ensuring it fits your budget and lifestyle. Choose brands that are committed to sustainability and offer detailed information on their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for your money.

Stores

You'll have to carry a lot of stuff for twins, so choose a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets or compartments to store your essentials. Make sure the storage areas are easy to access with the seats positioned in different positions, too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby 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). Because of the new design, you can attach the cocoons either facing forward or backward. It features a handy standing fold that makes it simple to keep in storage between usages.
