What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies with similar age, a twin pushchair can be a good option. They offer two spaces to transport your little ones, and usually come with comfy carrycots or chairs for newborns, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Look out for models with push handles that are easy to use and the GIANT storage basket. Accessories such as cups and snack trays for both kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face each the other. This is the preferred choice of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over who is sitting where. It is also ideal for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, but they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are being pushed.

Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair and can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy when your older child has outgrown it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins in the beginning stages, since they'll have to be the same weight and age.

The jogger is a different kind 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 air-filled tyres so it can cope with off-road trails as well. It's a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight comes with 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 to double pushchair seat. With one swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too.

This slim stroller, which is single to double, is ideal for urban adventures. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It has UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide shade, and a window that peeks out from the front seat so both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have recline built-in however, it can be used 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's seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that allows you to alter the layout as your kids grow. It begins as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that can be attached to the frame to allow for a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are more suited to navigate on kerbs. They also permit you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots side-by-side which is ideal for siblings of different ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a fantastic example of this kind of. It can be set up with 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. Our test team loved how light and slim it is for a dual-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for children. Additionally, the clever and simple recline lever that is one-handed located at the back of the unit makes it simple to get your child into the position of lying flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another example of a convertible twin stroller with seats that can be removed and can be set up to face either forward or backward, making it suitable for twins of all ages. It can also accommodate 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 can affect its efficiency. Look out for multiple options to switch up the direction your children's seats based on their mood or situation and continue 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 be facing each other and you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It can be used either in Mono or lightweight double buggy mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-by-side arrangement is a popular choice for new parents. One child is seated behind the second. This type of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view and 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 with more than 20 different configurations, so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family. it can even accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to turn this side-byside double pram pushchair buggy, which is designed for twins, into a running jogger. Both kids will face towards the forward direction. This allows you to keep pace with your running companion while keeping your children happy.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they have extra features such as larger baskets and extra padding for the seats. You may also find they are a bit heavier than a single stroller and you'll need to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades in order to protect your twins.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is as important as ensuring that it fits your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money choose brands that place a high priority on sustainability and provide thorough information about their production procedures. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or attending local events where you can talk to other parents about their experience and recommendations.

Storage

There will be a lot of things for twins, so choose a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments or pockets to store your essentials. Make sure that the storage spaces are easily accessible using the seats positioned in different positions, too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby and also add a 'PiggyBack' board for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the cocoons included (PS59 each), while the altered design lets you attach them facing either way. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it simple to store between usages.
