What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies that are the same age, a twin pushchair will be a great option. They provide two places to carry your children and are usually equipped with cosy carrycots or seats for infants, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories like cups and a snack tray for children and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin stroller side by side - link, pushchair allows both children face each other. This is the preferred method of some parents who find it less likely to cause sibling squabbles over who is sitting where. It is also ideal when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children are able to see each other clearly. Tandems are often larger than single buggy but they tend to be wider and can feel long when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair and can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means that you don't have to purchase another buggy if your older child outgrows it. It may not be the best option for twins in their early years, as they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy and can accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward wheel and can be used for off-road trails. It is a little heavier than other models however the extra weight comes with an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative double buggy sale kit that attaches directly to the single seat. It features one swivel wheel at the front and an all-wheel suspension, which makes it more sturdy than other joggers we tested. It is also compatible with a wide range of car seats.

This compact, single-to-double stroller is perfect for urban excursions with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It has UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade. It also has a window that peeks out from the front seat, so both children can enjoy the view. This model does not have an integrated recline however, it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for newborns or infants. It can also be equipped with a toddler seat making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that lets you change the configuration as your children grow. It is initially a single pram with adaptors that can be attached to the frame for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are typically wider than a standard buggy but can often be able to pass through doors and are easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. They also let you use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side, which works well for siblings of varying ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a fantastic illustration of this type. It can be set up in 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. Our test team loved how light and slim it is for a dual-seater, and also provides a large and comfortable ride for children. The simple and easy one-handed reclining lever at the back of the seat unit makes it easy for your child to lay down flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of convertible twin strollers with seats that can be removed and can be set to face forward or reverse making it suitable for twins of all age groups. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that attach to the middle frame can accommodate the third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can have a significant impact on its performance. Look out for multiple options to switch up the direction of your children's seats based on their mood or the circumstances and also continue to use them as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that's extremely adaptable. It comes with a reversible seats and bassinets, that allow siblings to be facing each other, you or on a brand new adventure. The innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in either Mono or double pushchair mode, with a range of accessories that are available for both types of configuration.

The side-by-side configuration is a popular choice for new parents. One child is seated behind the other. This type of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair and can be maneuvered through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example has more than 20 different configurations which means you can pick the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double pram stroller buggy, which is made for twins, to the Jogger. Both kids will be facing towards the front. This lets you keep up with your running partner and keeps the kids content as they explore.

Take into consideration your lifestyle when you choose a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they come with additional features like bigger baskets and padded seats. 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 in order to protect your twins.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is as important as ensuring that it is 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 online parenting groups or attending local events can give you important information on the most suitable twin pushchairs.

Storage

You'll have to carry a lot of stuff for twins so choose a spacious undercarriage basket with plenty of pockets or compartments to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easy to access even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' board (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons included (PS59 each). Because of the new design, it is possible to attach the cocoons facing either way or backwards. It features a handy standing fold that makes it simple to put away between uses.
