What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option for families with two children or kids with similar ages. They have two places to transport your little ones and typically come with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cups and a snack tray for parents and kids are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face each their respective faces. Some parents like this design since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in which position. It also works well for trips to places like the zoo where both kids can see each other easily. Tandems are generally larger than single buggy however they are generally wider and can feel long when they are pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs double and then can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is an economical option for families expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means that you won't have to buy another buggy if your older child is outgrowing it. It's not the best option for twins who are in their early months, as they'll have to be of a similar weight and age.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy, and can hold two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward steering wheel which means it can be used for off-road trails. It's a bit heavier than some other options however the extra weight brings the added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double to single buggy Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that is attached directly to the single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than many other joggers we have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides the flexibility to allow you to adapt the configuration of your pushchair as your kids grow. It begins as a single pram with adaptors that attach to the frame to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be bigger than typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable through kerbs and up and down. They also permit you to use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots side-byside, which works well for siblings of varying age.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could affect its efficiency. Consider a variety of seating options so that you can alter the direction your children's seats based on their mood or the circumstances, as well as continuing to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face each other, you, or the exciting road ahead. The frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side by side double stroller-by-side configuration is a popular choice for new parents. One child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy is smaller than a standard pushchair, and can be maneuvered through doorways and on public transport.

It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, designed for twins, into the jogger. Both kids will face forward. This allows you to keep pace with your running partner while keeping the kids happy.

In general twin pushchairs can be a bit heavier than their single counterparts due to additional features like bigger baskets and padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this kind of stroller. You might also notice that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller and you'll need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades in order to protect your twins.

It's equally important to test the quality of a Double single pushchair pushchair, as it is to ensure that it fits into your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value you can choose a brand that place a high priority on sustainability and provide thorough information about their production methods.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments and pockets to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even when the seats are in different positions.
