What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option if you have two kids or children with similar ages. They provide two spaces for your children and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models that have easy-to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for both kids and parents are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing the children to look at each their respective faces. This is the preferred style of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over which side to sit in. It's also a good alternative for places such as the zoo, where both children are able to see each one another. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies. However, they are also wider and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a brand new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins in the early months, as they'll have to be of a similar weight and age.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger that can be utilized in double or single mode and can accommodate two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can cope with off-road trails, too. It's a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight is an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. It has one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension, which makes it more stable than other joggers that we've tested. It's also compatible with a variety 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 expands to provide real shade. It also has a window that peeks out from the front seat, so both children can enjoy the view. The 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 can also be used with a toddler seat to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers an option that is flexible, allowing you to change the configuration of your pushchair as your children get older. The frame begins as a single pushchair with adaptors to add a second chair such as a carrycot or car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models, however, they can be inserted through doors and are much easier to navigate on roads. They also let you use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is great for siblings of different age.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great illustration of this type. It can be configured in a variety of ways, including seats, car seat and carrycots. Our test team liked the way it is slim and light is for a double pram and pushchair-seater, and also provides a large and comfortable ride for the kids. The intuitive and clever one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the unit makes it easy for your child to lie flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It has removable seats that can be set to face either way, which makes it ideal for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame could accommodate the third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair may have a significant impact on its functionality. You should consider several options that will allow you to change the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, the circumstances or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinets that allow siblings to be facing each other either with you or the exciting road ahead. The clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in either Mono or double buggy for twins mode with a variety of accessories available for both configurations.

The side-by-side arrangement is a popular option for parents who are just starting out. One child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is 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 to choose the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins for a jog or go on more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double travel buggy buggy an jogger that has both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep up with your running partner while keeping the kids happy.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier due to the additional features like bigger baskets and padded seats. You may also find that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair, and you might need to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.

Verifying the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring that it's within your budget and lifestyle. Find brands that prioritize sustainability and provide specific information on their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the best value for money. You can also gain valuable insight into the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events to talk to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.

Storage

You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins so look for a spacious undercarriage basket and plenty of pockets or compartments to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easily accessible even if the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' board (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can put the cocoons either facing either way or backwards. It also has a handy standing fold for easy storage between usages.
