Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face each other. Some parents like this design because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in which seat. It is also ideal for visiting places like the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggys however they tend to be wider and can feel long when being pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families with more than one child.

However, it may not be a good option for twins in the early months because they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

The seating arrangement can have a significant impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. You should look for several options that permit you to change the direction your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation, or even as they become.
