What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect option for families with two babies or children with similar ages. They offer two spaces to carry your children and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants, and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

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

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face one the other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in which seat. It's also a good alternative for places such as the Zoo, where both children can easily see each their fellow. Tandems are often larger than single buggy however they are generally wider and can feel long when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs, but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means you won't need to buy a new buggy when your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best option for twin babies in the beginning because they'll need to be similar in 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 has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward steering wheel which means it can be used on trails that are off-road. It is a bit heavier than other models however the extra weight is added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment or with a clever Double stroller with large canopy kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. It has one swivel wheel at the front and all-wheel suspension which makes it more sturdy than other joggers we tested. It also works with a wide range of car seats.

This narrow, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban adventures with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It comes with a 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 an integrated recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining space for infants and newborns. It also fits an infant seat, making it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that allows you to alter the layout as your children grow. It is initially an individual pram, but it has adaptors that can be attached to the frame for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be wider than a standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. They also let you use a toddler seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is great for siblings of varying age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double single pushchair buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations, including carrycots, and car seats. Our test team liked how slim and lightweight it is for a two-seater and also provides a large, sturdy and comfortable ride for children. In addition, the smart and intuitive recline lever with one hand on the back of the 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 configured to face forward or reverse, making it suitable for twins of all ages. It also can accommodate an additional child on the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could significantly affect its efficiency. You should look for a variety of options that will allow you to alter the direction in which your child's seat faces depending on their mood, the situation or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seat and bassinets that allow siblings to face one another and you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode with a variety of accessories available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is a side-by-side configuration, which means that one child is seated behind the other. This type of twin pushchair has the benefit of giving both children the same view and is generally more compact than a single pushchair twin, making it easier to maneuver in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance, offers over 20 configurations, so you can select 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 convert this side-by-side double buggy travel system buggy, specifically designed for twins, into a jogger. Both kids are facing towards the front. This allows you to keep on top of your running partner and keeps the kids content while they play.

In general twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than their single counterparts because they have additional features such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before choosing this type of stroller. You may also find they're a little heavier than a single stroller, and you'll need buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins.

It is equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair, as it is to make sure it fits into your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value choose brands that place a high priority on sustainability and provide thorough details on their manufacturing processes. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can provide valuable information about the best twin pushchairs.

Stores

There will be a lot of stuff for twins, so look for a spacious undercarriage basket with plenty of pockets or compartments to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easy to access even if the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby, plus has room to include a 'PiggyBack' table for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, it is possible to attach the cocoons either facing either way or backwards. It also has a handy standing fold for easy storage between uses.
