What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies of similar age, a twin pushchair could be a good option. They have two places to carry your children and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models that have easy-to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Accessories like cups holders and a tray for snacks for parents and kids are also beneficial.

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's less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in the seat they prefer. It's also a good option for places like the Zoo, where both children can easily view each their fellow. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they also are more spacious and longer when they are they are pushed.

Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is an affordable option for families with more than one child and it means that you won't have to buy an entirely new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be a good option for twin babies in the early months as they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in single or double mode and accommodates two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel, so it can also be used for off-road trails. It is a bit heavier than some other options however the extra weight brings the added durability.

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

This compact, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban adventures with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It comes with an UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view in the front seat to let both children enjoy 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 reclining area for infants and newborns. It also fits the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides the flexibility to allow you to alter the design of your pushchair as your children grow. It starts out as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that connect to the frame to allow for a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be wider than a regular buggy, but they can be able to pass through doors and are much easier to maneuver between kerbs. They also let you use a toddler seat and infant car seat or two carrycots side-by-side which is great for siblings of varying ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 double Prams with uv protection canopy buggy is a great example of this kind of. It can be configured with 25 different ways using seats, car seat and carrycots. Our test team liked how light and slim it is for a two-seater while also offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for kids. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever at the back of the unit also makes it simple for your child to lie down flat.

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

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair can affect its performance. It is important to look for a variety of options that permit you to change the direction your child's seat is facing based on their mood, circumstances or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other and you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame expands to allow for an additional seat. It can be used either in Mono or double strollers mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are new is a side by side double stroller-by-side configuration, 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 transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance offers more than 20 options which means you can pick the best configuration for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to turn this side-byside double buggy, which is designed for twins, into the running jogger. Both kids will be facing forward. This allows you to keep on top of your running partner and keep the kids happy as they explore.

In general twin pushchairs can be a little heavier than their single counterparts due to extra features, such as bigger baskets and padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before deciding on this type of stroller. It is also possible that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair, and you may need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to shield your twins from the elements.

Examining the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as ensuring it's within your budget and lifestyle. Choose brands that are committed to sustainability and provide detailed information on their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for money. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can provide valuable information about the best twin pushchairs.

Stores

It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Thanks to the new design, it is possible to attach the cocoons either facing either direction, or reverse. It also comes with a handy folding stand that makes it easy to store between usages.
