What to Look For in a Bambisol Twin Pushchair: Birth to Ultra-Compact Design Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with similar age, a twin pushchair can be a great option. They offer two spaces for your infants to travel, and usually come with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each the other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in which position. It is also a good option for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to easily view each one another. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are being pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This can be an affordable option for families that are expecting more than one child and it means you won't need to buy an entirely new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be the best option for twin babies in the beginning since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

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 features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres so it can cope with off-road trails as well. It is heavier than other alternatives, but it has added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the main compartment or with a handy double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. It comes with one swivel wheel at the front and an all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers we have tested. It's also compatible with a wide range of car seats.

It also has an open window in the front seat so both children can enjoy the view. This model does not come with recline built-in, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for infants or newborns. It can also be used with a toddler seat to make it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to alter the configuration as your children get older. The frame begins as one pushchair but has adaptors attached to it to accommodate a second seat such as a carrycot or car seat. These types are generally bigger than regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are more maneuverable through kerbs and up and down. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers side-by-side, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 lightest double stroller buggy is a fantastic illustration of this type. It can be set up with 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots.

It also accommodates a third child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have an impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for a variety of options that will allow you to change the direction that your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face each other either with you or the exciting road ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-byside configuration is a popular choice for parents who are new. One child is seated behind the other. This type of twin buggy gives both children the same view. It generally narrower than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. 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 take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins jogging or for more adventurous adventures with the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into an jogger that has both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep up with your running partner, while keeping your children happy.

In general twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than their single counterparts because they come with extra features, such as bigger baskets and padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before deciding on this kind of stroller. You might also notice that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller and that you need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades in order to protect your twins.

It's equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it's to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle.

The storage areas should be easily accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' board (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Thanks to the new design, you can attach the cocoons facing either direction, or reverse. It comes with a convenient standing fold that makes it simple to store between use.
