What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies of similar age, a twin pushchair can be a great choice. They offer two places for your children and usually come with a comfortable carrycot for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

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

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children face each other. This is the preferred style of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over who is sitting where. It is also a good option for visiting places like the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies. However, they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families that are expecting more than one child, and it means that you don't have to purchase an entirely new buggy once your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best option for twins in the early months as they'll need to be similar in age and weight.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double travel buggy buggy, and can hold two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel and can be used on trails that are off-road. It is heavier than other options, but it has added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger is a great choice for either the seat in the main compartment or with a handy double jogging stroller kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. With the single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.

This compact, single to double Stroller Double is perfect for urban excursions. Its easy maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It comes with an UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat, so both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have an integrated recline however it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for newborns or infants. It can also be used with an infant seat, making it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an option that is flexible, allowing you to change the layout of your pushchair as your children get older. The frame starts as a single pushchair with adaptors that can be attached to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or a car seat. These models are typically bigger than regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver between kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat in tandem, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of smallest double buggy buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations, including carrycots and car seats. Our team was impressed by how slim and lightweight it is for a dual-seater, and also provides a large, sturdy and comfortable ride for children. The simple and easy one-handed reclining lever at the back of the unit also makes it easy for your child to lie on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of a convertible twin stroller that has removable seats and can be configured to face either forward or backward which makes it suitable for twins of all different ages. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame could accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair may have a significant impact on its efficiency. It is important to look for various options that allow you to change the direction your child's seat faces depending on their mood, the circumstances or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that is extremely versatile. It comes with a reversible seats and bassinets, that allow siblings to be facing each other, one another or embark on a new adventure. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode with a range of accessories available to suit both configurations.

A common 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 pushchair offers the advantage of giving both children the same view and is generally more compact double stroller than a single pushchair, making it easier to navigate in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance has more than 20 different configurations to choose the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who wish to take their twins jogging or to go on more adventurous excursions The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double stroller with car seat buggy side-by-side into an jogger that has both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep pace with your running companion and keeps your kids entertained while they play.

In general twin pushchairs can be a bit heavier than their single counterparts because they come with extra features, such as bigger baskets and padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before choosing this type of stroller. It is possible that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller, and that you need to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring that it is within your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and provide specific information on their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for your money. You can also gain valuable insight into the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or at local events to speak to other parents about their experience and recommendations.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot of stuff. Look for a car with a large undercarriage storage basket and numerous compartments and pockets for your necessities. The storage areas should be easy to access, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby and also add the 'PiggyBack' board for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the included cocoons (PS59 each) The rejigged design means you can connect them facing either direction. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it easy to put away between usages.
