The size of your buggy is an important aspect to take into consideration.

Safety

The best twin buggies have suspensions that can withstand grass, gravel paths, and kerbs. Some models have two front wheels that provide additional stability on bumpy roads or in rough terrain.

It's also recommended to test the recline of the seat to ensure that your kids will be at ease during long jogging or walks.

There are a variety of twin buggies that are available including tandem, side-by-side and one-seated. The side-by-side by side double stroller model is ideal for twins and siblings who are close in age. They can sit together to chat and interact on walks. This kind of twin buggy is more compact than other types that makes them more convenient to manoeuvre and fit through doors. However, they could be heavier and have a larger footprint than single buggies. This makes them feel less stable bumping up the kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be double travel systems, and offer the possibility of attaching two carrycots or car seats at the same time. Some models can be enlarged to hold two babies in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They may be smaller and longer than twin buggies which are side-by-side. However, they may also be smaller and longer than single buggies.

The one-seat models are generally narrower and take up less space on the pavement than other double buggy types. This makes them a good option for twins or siblings of varying ages, who would rather sit beside each other and avoid waking one another awake by pulling their hair or fighting. Some models are designed to be separate in their seat recline and your kids can sleep comfortably without hitting each other.

Convenience

With a twin stroller, your children can take their favorite dolls or teddy bears along on walks. Many models come with seats where two children can sit side by side to interact and some have a carry basket that folds up to keep everything in.

There are twin buggies that are available in different price ranges. However, it is worth paying a little more to get a model which is simple to use and will grow along with your family.

It is possible to wheel the stroller right out of the front door. This is especially helpful for parents with newborns.

Design

Whether you're shopping for twins or siblings that are close in age, there's a range of designs to pick from. Some single prams can be converted into twin buggies while others are designed to be twin buggies. Whatever model you're seeking the most important thing is to choose one that is suitable for your family's lifestyle and needs.

Many brands of twin buggies come with numerous features that parents will adore.

Some models also come with an adult tray with cup holders, a removable changing mat and an under-seat bin to store things in.

Selecting the right type of wheel and size is another important factor to consider when buying a twin buggy. Choose a double-buggy with all-terrain wheels that will easily negotiate mud, gravel and uneven surfaces. Choose a buggy that has suspension to give you more control.

If you're planning on using your twin buggy for long walks, consider the model that has a large cargo bag. This will allow you to carry more than your two children, and will also make it much easier to keep your children's belongings in order. Consider adding sun visors, rain cover and shopping tray to your bag.
