What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great choice if you have two kids or children with similar ages. They offer two spaces to transport your little ones, and usually come with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants, and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack trays for both kids and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face each their respective faces. This is the preferred choice for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling fights over who is sitting where. It's also a good option for places such as the zoo, where the children are able to view each one another. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, however they also tend to be larger and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child is outgrowing it. However, it may not be the best travel double stroller option for twin babies in the beginning, as they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

Another kind of twin stroller side by side buggy is the jogger, that can be utilized in double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres so it can handle off-road trails as well. It is a bit heavier than other models however the extra weight brings an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger is a great choice for either 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-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than other joggers we have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too.

This slim stroller double that converts from a single to a double is perfect for urban excursions. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It comes with a UPF50and sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat so that both children can take in the view. The model doesn't come with a built-in recline but can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat space for newborns and infants. It can also be equipped with a toddler's seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the design of your pushchair as your children grow. It is initially a single pram with adaptors that attach to the frame to allow for a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These types are generally bigger than typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. They also permit you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side, which works well for siblings of various age.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great illustration of this type. It can be configured in 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from the iCandy brand is a fantastic example of a double-buggy that can be configured in 25 different ways by using car seats, seats and carrycots. In addition, the smart and simple recline lever that is one-handed located on the back of the unit makes it easy to get your child into a lie-flat position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of convertible twin strollers with seats that can be removed and can be set up to face forward or backward which makes it suitable for twins of all age groups. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that attach to the middle frame are able to accommodate an additional child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can significantly affect its performance. Be sure to look for a variety of options to change the direction of your child's seats based on their mood or the situation, as well as continuing to use them as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that's extremely adaptable. It has reversible seats and bassinets, that allow siblings to be facing each other, you or on a brand new adventure. The frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-byside configuration is a favorite choice for parents who are just starting out. One child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is smaller than a standard pushchair and can be maneuvered through 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, and it can even take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to turn this side-byside double buggy, made for twins, to an Jogger. Both kids are facing towards the forward direction. This allows you to keep pace with your running partner while keeping your children happy.

In general twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than single pushchairs due to additional features like bigger baskets and 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 more difficult to maneuver 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.

It's equally important to assess the quality of a double pushchair as it is to make sure it is compatible with your budget sit and stand double stroller - see this page, lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and offer detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the best value for money. You can also gain valuable information about the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events to speak to other parents about their experience and suggestions.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot. Look for a car with a large undercarriage storage basket and plenty of pockets and compartments for your necessities. The storage areas should be easily accessible even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a baby and toddler as well as add a 'PiggyBack' board for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two infants in the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each) and the modified design allows you to attach them facing either way. It features a handy standing fold that makes it simple to put away between usages.
