What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair can be a great choice. They provide two spaces for your little ones and usually come with a comfortable carrycot for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Find models that have easy-to-use push handles and a GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair twin is side-by-side and allows both children to face each their respective faces. This is the preferred choice of some parents who find it less likely to cause sibling squabbles over who is sitting where. It is also a good option for places like the zoo, where the children are able to easily be able to see each one another. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggys however they are generally more spacious and can feel longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child is no longer using it. However, it might not be the best choice for twin babies in the early months as they'll need to be similar in age and weight.

The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel, so it can also be used on trails that are off-road. It's a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight is the 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 kit that is attached directly to the single seat. With one swivel front wheel and all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than many other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.

It features a UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view from the front seat so that both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have a built-in recline but can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining space for infants and newborns. It can also be fitted with a toddler's seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to change the design of your pushchair as your children get older. It begins as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that attach to the frame for a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are much easier to maneuver on kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a wonderful illustration of this type. It can be configured in a variety of ways, including seats, car seats and carrycots. Our test team liked how light and slim it is for a double-seater, while also offering a spacious, sturdy and comfortable ride for children. The intuitive and clever one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the unit makes it easy for your child to lay down flat.

The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that are attached to the middle frame are able to accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can affect its efficiency. You should look for several options that will allow you to alter the direction in which your child's seat is facing based on their mood, the circumstances or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely versatile. It has a reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other, one another or embark on a new adventure. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode with a range of accessories that are available for both types of configuration.

A common choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement, which means that one child is seated behind the other. This kind of twin buggy is narrower than a standard pushchair, and can be pushed through doors and on public transportation. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance has more than 20 different configurations to choose 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 smallest double buggy buggy, specifically designed for twins, into the jogger. Both kids will face towards the forward direction. This lets you keep pace with your running companion while keeping your kids entertained.

Take into consideration your lifestyle when you choose a twin pushchair double. They are generally heavier due to the additional features, such as larger baskets and extra padding for the seats. It is also possible that they're more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you may have to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

Verifying the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as making sure it fits your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and offer detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for money.
