What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal choice if you have two babies or children with similar ages. They offer two spaces to transport your little ones and are usually equipped with comfortable carrycots or seats for newborns, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with push handles that are easy to use and a GIANT storage basket. Accessories such as cups and snack trays for parents and children are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face one other. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling rivalries over who is sitting where. It's also a good option for places such as the zoo, where the children are able to easily be able to see each other. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggy however they are generally more spacious and can feel longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs, but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. It's not the best option for twins in the early months, as they'll need to be of the same weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in a double or single mode and can accommodate two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward steering wheel which means it can be used for off-road trails. It is heavier than other models, 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 can be attached to the existing single seat. It has one swivel wheel at the front and all-wheel suspension, which makes it more stable than other joggers we've tested. It also works with a variety of car seats.

This slim, single to double stroller is ideal for urban adventures. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It comes with an UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view in the front seat for both children to take in the view. This model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be paired with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat space for infants and newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the design of your pushchair as your kids grow. The frame is initially a single pushchair with adaptors attached to it to add a second chair such as a carrycot or car seat. These models are typically bigger than standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver 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-by-side which is great for siblings of varying age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations using seats, carrycots and car seats. The Peach 7 from the iCandy brand is a great example of a double buggy that can be set up in a variety of ways, by using car seats, chairs and carrycots. Additionally, the clever and intuitive recline lever with one hand located at the back of the unit makes it easy to get your child into a lie-flat position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It has removable seats that can be positioned to face either way, which makes it ideal for twins of any age. It also can accommodate another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could affect its functionality. You should consider several options that permit you to change the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, circumstances or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, single to double stroller for example, is incredibly versatile, single to double stroller with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another, you, or the exciting route ahead. The frame's clever design can be extended to accommodate an additional seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode with a variety of accessories that are available for both configurations.

The side-byside configuration is a popular option for parents who are new. One child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy gives both children the same view and generally narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to navigate in the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations so that you can choose the perfect set-up for your family, and it can even accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

If you want to take their twins jogging or to go on more adventurous excursions, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy a jogger with both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep up with your running partner and keeps the kids happy while they play.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier due to the additional features like larger baskets and more padding for the seats. You might also notice that they're a little heavier than a single stroller and you'll need purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades in order to protect your twins.

Examining the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as ensuring it fits your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and offer detailed information on their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for money. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups online or at local events to speak to other parents about their experiences and suggestions.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage basket and numerous compartments and pockets to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even if the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons included (PS59 each). Because of the new design, it is possible to attach the cocoons facing forward or backward. It also comes with a handy folding stand that makes it easy to store between uses.
