It's a smart fold that is a single-click and it's also compatible with most car seats so it's easy to take them out and go. It's a bit long when in double single pushchair mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easily accessible and convenient can help you stay organized for more than one baby. Select a model with a large basket underneath to store all the other accessories such as baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags.

Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat in front of the other, are ideal for siblings of varying age, but they can be a little more difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces than side-by-side models.
