What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies that are the same age, a twin pushchair will be a great choice. They have two places to carry your children and typically come with comfortable carrycots or seats for newborns, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models that have easy-to-use push handles and an GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also beneficial.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows the children to look at each the other. This is the preferred style for some parents who feel it less likely to cause sibling fights over who is sitting where. It's also a good alternative for places such as the zoo, where both children are able to view each other. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggys but they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families that are expecting more than one child, and it means you won't need to purchase an entirely new buggy once your older child is outgrowing it. It's not the best double stroller option for twins in their early months, as they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy and can accommodate 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's a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight is the added durability.

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

This compact double buggy stroller, which is single to double, is ideal for urban adventures. Its easy maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It features an UPF 50+ sun canopy that expands to provide shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat so that both children can enjoy the view. This model does not come with an integrated recline however, it can be paired up with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants or newborns. It can also be fitted with a toddler seat, making it a three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the configuration of your pushchair as your children get older. It is initially one pram but 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 however, they can be inserted through doors and are more suited to move around roads. 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 fantastic example of this type of double strollers buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations that include carrycots and car seats. Our team was impressed by how light and slim it is for a dual-seater, while also offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for the kids. The simple and easy one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the seat unit makes it easy for your child to lay flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It has removable seats that can be set to face either direction, or reverse, making it ideal for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that are attached to the middle frame could accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can affect its efficiency. You should look for various options that permit you to change the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, circumstances or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another and you, or the exciting road ahead. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the extra seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories available for both configurations.

A popular choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side by side double stroller arrangement in which one child sits behind the other. This type of lightweight twin stroller pushchair offers the advantage of giving both children the same view and is generally more compact than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to maneuver in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example, offers over 20 configurations which means you can pick the best configuration for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, made for twins, to a jogger. Both kids will be facing forward. 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 bit heavier than their single counterparts because they have additional features like bigger baskets and padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. It is possible that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller and that you need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers in order to protect your twins.

It's equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it is to ensure that it fits into your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money you can choose a brand that place a high priority on sustainability and provide detailed details on their manufacturing procedures. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can provide important information on the most suitable twin Pushchair Double.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot. Look for a car with a large undercarriage storage basket as well as numerous compartments and pockets to store your essentials. 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, plus has room to include a 'PiggyBack' table for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the cocoons included (PS59 each), while the modified design allows you to put them in any direction. It also comes with a handy folding design that can be stored between uses.
