What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair will be a great choice. They have two seats for your little ones and usually come with a comfortable carrycot 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 cups holders and a tray for snacks for parents and kids are also beneficial.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face one another. Some parents prefer this style because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in which position. It is also a good option for visiting places like the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggy however they tend to be larger and may feel longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is an economical option for families that are expecting more than one child, and it means you won't need to buy a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best option for twin babies in the beginning since they'll have to be of similar age and weight.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy and can accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel, so it can also be used on off-road trails. It is a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight brings added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with an innovative double kit that attaches directly to the single seat. It has one swivel wheel at 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 wide range of car seats.

This compact twin stroller stroller that converts from a single to a double is perfect for urban excursions. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It has a UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat so that both children can take in the view. This model does not come with recline built-in, but it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for infants or newborns. It also fits a toddler seat to make it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers the flexibility to allow you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your kids grow. The frame begins as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors attached to it to allow for the addition of a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These models tend to be larger than the standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver between kerbs. They also allow you to use a toddler car 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 double buggy is a wonderful example of this type. It can be set up in 25 different ways using seats, car seat and carrycots. Our test team loved the way it is slim and light is for a double buggy with car seat-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for kids. Additionally, the clever and intuitive recline lever with one hand located on the back of the seat unit makes it simple to help your child get into an upright position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be positioned to face either direction, or reverse, making it suitable for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame are able to accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a significant impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. Look out for multiple options so that you can switch up the direction of your children's seats based on their mood or situation and also continue to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seats and bassinets that allow siblings to face one another, you, or the exciting route ahead. The innovative frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. It can be used in Mono or double buggy newborn mode, with a variety of accessories that are available for both configurations.

A popular choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is a side-by-side configuration, where one child sits behind the other. This type of twin pushchair has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It is generally more compact than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair, for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations so that you can pick the ideal configuration for your family. it can also accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

If you want to take their twins jogging or go on more adventurous adventures, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double buggy side-by-side into a jogger with both kids facing forwards. This lets you keep up with your running partner and keep the kids content while they play.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they come with additional features, such as larger baskets and extra padding for the seats. It is possible that they weigh a bit more than a Single to Double buggy stroller and you'll need purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers in order to protect your twins.

It is equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it is to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value, look for brands who place a high priority on sustainability and offer detailed information about their production processes. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can help you gain valuable insight on the best twin buggy from birth pushchairs.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Look for a car with a large undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments and pockets for your necessities. The storage areas should be easily accessible even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby as well as include a 'PiggyBack' table for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two infants in the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each) and the altered design lets you connect them facing either direction. It also comes with a handy folding stand that makes it easy to store between uses.
