What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies of the same age, a twin pushchair will be a great option. They offer two places for your little ones and usually come with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models with push handles that are easy to use and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons such as cups and a snack tray for children and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children face each other. This is the preferred choice of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling fights over who sits where. It is also a good option for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies. However, they are also wider and longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be the best option for twin babies in the beginning as they'll need to be similar in age and weight.

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 features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can cope with off-road trails, too. It is heavier than other alternatives, but it has added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative double push chair kit that attaches directly to the single seat. It has a single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers we've tested. It also works with a wide range of car seats.

It has an UPF50and sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat to let both children take in the view. The model doesn't have a built in recline, but it can be paired up with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for infants and newborns. It can also be fitted with a toddler's seat, making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers a flexible option, allowing you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your children get older. It begins as a single pram with adaptors that can be attached to the frame to allow for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be bigger than regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. They also allow you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is ideal for siblings of different ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of strollers double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations that include carrycots, and car seats.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It has removable seats that can be positioned to face forwards or backwards, making it suitable for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame can accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can affect its performance. You should consider several options that allow you to alter the direction in which your child's seat is facing based on their mood, situation or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that let siblings to face one another, you, or the exciting route ahead. The frame expands to accommodate an extra seat. It is able to be used in Mono or double buggy that converts to single mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-by-side configuration is a favorite choice for parents who are just starting out. One child is seated behind the second. This kind of twin buggy gives both children the same view. It generally narrower than a single pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through public spaces and through doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations, so you can choose the perfect set-up for your family, and it can even take 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 specifically designed for twins, into the jogger. Both kids are facing towards the front. This allows you to keep up with your running companion and keeps the kids happy while they play.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than their single counterparts because they have extra features, such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You might also notice that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller, and that you need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins.

It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' board (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons included (PS59 each).
