Be on the lookout for models that have easy-to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Accessories like cups and a snack tray for kids and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing both children to face one the other. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over the seat they prefer. It is also ideal when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems can be larger than single buggy however they tend to be wider and can feel long when being pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families expecting more than one child and it means that you don't have to purchase another buggy if your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best double buggy choice for twins in the beginning because they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in a double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel and can be used on trails that are off-road. It is a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight brings added durability.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can affect its efficiency.
