What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal choice if you have two children or kids who are similar in age. They provide two places to transport your little ones, and usually come with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cups and snack trays for both kids and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred method of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling fights over which side to sit in. It's also a great alternative for places such as the zoo, where both children can easily view each one another. Tandems are generally larger than single buggy but they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is an affordable option for families that are expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means that you don't have to buy a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. It might not be the best option for twins in the early years, as they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy and can accommodate two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can cope with off-road trails as well. It is heavier than other models 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 can be attached to the existing single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than many other joggers we have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats as well.

This compact, single-to-double buggy newborn stroller is perfect for urban excursions due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It comes with UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade, and a window that peeks out from the front seat, so both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't have a built in recline however it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for infants and newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that lets you alter the configuration as your kids get older. The frame begins as one pushchair but has adaptors to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or a car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models however, they are able to fit through doors and are easier to move around kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations that include car seats and carrycots. Our test team liked how slim and lightweight it is for a two-seater and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for kids. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever on the back of the seat unit makes it easy for your child to lay on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another example of a convertible twin stroller that has removable seats and can be configured to face forward or reverse making it suitable for twins of all age groups. It can also accommodate another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have significant impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. Look out for multiple options to switch up the direction of your child's seats based on their mood or the circumstances and continue to use them as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely adaptable. It has reversible bassinet and seat configurations, which allow siblings to face one another, you or embark on a new adventure. The innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate the extra seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode with a variety of accessories that are available for both configurations.

A popular option for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement where one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view and generally narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, has over 20 different configurations so you can choose the perfect set-up for your family, and it can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, designed for twins, into the jogger. Both kids will face towards the forward direction. This allows you to keep pace with your running partner, while keeping the kids happy.

In general twin pushchairs can be a bit heavier than their single counterparts due to additional features such as more spacious baskets and seats that are padded and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You might also discover that they're more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you may need to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to shield your twins from the elements.

Verifying the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as making sure it's within your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money you can choose a brand that place a high priority on sustainability and provide thorough details on their manufacturing methods. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can provide valuable information about the best twin pushchair.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot. Look for a car equipped with a huge undercarriage basket and numerous compartments and pockets to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easy to access even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has room for the 'PiggyBack board' (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can attach the cocoons facing forward or backward. It also has a handy folding stand that makes it easy to store between use.
