What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal option for families with two kids or children of a similar age. They offer two places for your children and usually come with comfortable carrycots for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cups and snack trays for parents and children are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing both children to face each the other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets the seat they prefer. It is also a good option for visiting places like the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems are often larger than single buggy however they are generally wider and can feel long when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair and can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is an economical option for families with more than one child, and it means that you don't have to buy an entirely new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best choice for twins in the early months because they'll need to be similar in age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in a double or single mode and can accommodate two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel and can be used for off-road trails. It is heavier than other options, but it has added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment or with a clever double kit that attaches directly to the single seat. It features one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension, which makes it more stable than other joggers that we tested. It's also compatible with a wide range of car seats.

This narrow stroller double that converts from a single to a nipper double buggy is ideal for urban adventures. Its easy maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It features UPF50and sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat for both children to enjoy the view. The model doesn't have a built-in recline but can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lie-flat space for infants and newborns. It can also be equipped with a toddler's seat, making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible lightweight twin stroller pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your children grow. It is initially an individual pram, but it has adaptors that attach to the frame for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be wider than a typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are easier to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. They also let you use a toddler seat and infant car seat or two carrycots side-byside which is ideal for siblings of different age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations using seats, carrycots and car seats. Our test team liked how light and slim it is for a double-seater, while also offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for kids. Additionally, the clever and easy recline lever that is one-handed located on the back of the unit makes it easy to help your child get into an upright position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another example of a convertible twin stroller that has removable seats and can be set up to face either forward or backward, making 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 can have a an impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. Be sure to look for a variety of options to switch up the direction of your child's seats based on 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 either with you or the exciting route ahead. The frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is a side-by-side configuration, in which one child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy is smaller than a standard pushchair, and can be pushed through doors and on public transportation. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance offers more than 20 options to choose the best set-up for your child. 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, which is made for twins, to a running jogger. Both kids are facing towards the front. This allows you to keep on top of your running companion and keeps the kids content as they explore.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier due to the additional features like larger baskets and extra padded seats. You might also discover that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair and you might need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

It's equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair, as it is to make sure it fits into your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money you can choose a brand that have a strong focus on sustainability and offer detailed information about their production processes. You can also gain valuable insights into the best twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups online or at local events where you can talk to other parents about their experiences and suggestions.

Storage

There will be a lot of stuff for twins, so choose a spacious undercarriage basket with plenty of pockets or compartments to store your necessities. Make sure that the storage areas are easily accessible using the seats positioned in different positions, too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has room for the 'PiggyBack board' (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the included cocoons (PS59 each), while the rejigged design means you can attach them facing either way. It also has a handy folding design that can be stored between use.
