What to Look For in a Twin pushchair twin

If you have two children or babies of the same age, a twin pushchair will be a good option. They offer two places for your infants and are typically equipped with a comfortable carrycot for newborns as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models that have easy-to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cups holders and a tray for snacks for kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing both children to face each the other. Some parents like this design since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in which seat. It is also a good option for places like the Zoo, where both children can easily see each one another. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggy however they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs, but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. It may not be the best choice for twins who are in their early years, as they'll need to be of the same weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in a double tandem pushchair or single mode and has two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel forward wheel which means it can be used for off-road trails. It is heavier than other options however it offers durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger is a great choice for either the seat in the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. It has one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension which makes it more sturdy than other joggers we've tested. It's also compatible with many car seats.

This compact, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban excursions due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has a UPF 50+ sun canopy that expands to provide real shade and an open window in the front seat so that both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have an integrated recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining space for newborns and infants. It can also be outfitted with a toddler's seat, making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that lets you change the configuration as your children develop. The frame is initially one pushchair but has adaptors attached to it to accommodate a second seat such as a carrycot or car seat. These types are generally wider than a typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are much easier to maneuver between kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations, including carrycots, and car seats. Our team was impressed by how light and slim it is for a double-seater, as well as offering a spacious and comfortable ride for kids. The simple and easy one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the unit also makes it easy for your child to lay down flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be set to face either direction, or reverse, making it suitable for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame are able to accommodate the third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have an impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. Consider a variety of seating options so that you can switch up the direction of your child's seats according to their mood or the situation, 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 bassinets that allow siblings to be facing each other and you, or the exciting route ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

A popular choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is a side-by-side configuration, which means that one child is seated behind the other. This type of twin buggy gives both children the same view and generally narrower than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to maneuver in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, has over 20 different configurations so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family, and it can even accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, specifically designed for twins, into a jogger. Both kids are facing towards the front. This allows you to keep on top of your running partner and keeps the kids happy as they explore.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than their single counterparts because they come with additional features like larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before choosing this kind of stroller. You might also discover that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair, and you may have to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins from the elements.

It's equally important to assess the quality of a double buggy from birth pushchair. This is because it's to ensure that it fits into your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money, look for brands who have a strong focus on sustainability and provide thorough details on their manufacturing processes. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events where you can talk to other parents about their experience and suggestions.

Storage

You'll be carrying lots of things for twins, so choose a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets or compartments to stash your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even if 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 is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Thanks to the new design, you can attach the cocoons either facing either way or backwards. It features a handy standing fold that makes it easy to put away between usages.
