What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies of similar age, a twin pushchair can be a great choice. They have two seats for your children and are usually equipped with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Add-ons such as cups holders and a tray for snacks for parents and kids are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face each the other. Some parents like this design because it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in which seat. It's also a great option for places such as the zoo, where the children can easily see each other. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies. However, they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs and then can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be a good option for twin babies in the beginning, because they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it is able to handle off-road trails, too. It is a little heavier than some other options but the extra weight is an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.

This compact, single-to-cheap double buggy stroller is ideal for urban adventures due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide shade, and an open window in the front seat so both children can enjoy the view. This model doesn't have a built-in recline but can be paired with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining area for infants and newborns. It can also be used with the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers the flexibility to allow you to adapt the design of your pushchair as your kids grow. The frame begins as a single pushchair with adaptors attached to it to add a second chair such as a carrycot or car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models, however, they are able to fit through doors and are much easier to move around the kerbs. They also let you use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side, which works well for siblings of different ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 lightweight double buggy to single buggy (straight from the source) buggy is a great illustration of this type. It can be configured with 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from iCandy is an excellent example of a double-buggy that can be configured in 25 different ways by using car seats, chairs and carrycots. In addition, the smart and easy recline lever that is one-handed located at the back of the seat unit makes it easy to get your child in a lie-flat position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of a convertible twin stroller that has removable seats and can be set up to face forward or backward which makes it suitable for twins of all age groups. It also accommodates an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have significant impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. You should consider several options that permit you to change the direction that your child's seat is facing based on their mood, the circumstances or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another and you, or the exciting route ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is able to be used in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is the side-by-side arrangement in which one child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair, and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transportation. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example has more than 20 different configurations which means you can pick the best set-up 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, designed for twins, into a Jogger. Both kids will face forward. This lets you keep pace with your running partner while keeping your children happy.

In general twin pushchairs can be a bit heavier than their single counterparts due to additional features like bigger baskets and padded seats Consider your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. It is also possible that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair double, and you may have to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring it is within your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value choose brands that put a premium on sustainability and provide thorough details about their manufacturing procedures. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can help you gain important information on the most suitable twin pushchairs.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll need carry a lot of stuff. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage basket and plenty of 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 and also include a 'PiggyBack' table for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can attach the cocoons facing either direction, or reverse. It features a handy standing fold that makes it easy to keep in storage between uses.
