It also works well for trips to places like the zoo where both kids can easily see each other.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best choice for twin babies in the beginning, as they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger which can be used in single or double mode and accommodates two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off-road trails as well. It is a little heavier than other models but the extra weight comes with the added durability.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair can significantly affect its functionality. You should look for several options that will allow you to change the direction in which your child's seat faces depending on their mood, situation, or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seats and bassinets that allow siblings to face each other either with you or the exciting route ahead.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier due to the extra features such as larger baskets and more padded seats. You may also find they're a little heavier than a single stroller, and you'll need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades in order to protect your twins.

Examining the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring it is within 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 thorough information about their production procedures.
