What to Look For in a lightweight twin buggy Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect option if you have two babies or children with similar ages. They offer two spaces for your infants to travel, and usually come with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cups and a snack tray for kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing the children to look at each the other. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over which position. 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 however they are generally wider and can feel long when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won't have to buy a brand new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be a good option for twins in the beginning, since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy, and can hold two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it is able to handle off-road trails too. It is heavier than other alternatives but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment, or with a nifty double strollers kit that is attached to the existing single to double buggy seat. It features one swivel on the front and all-wheel suspension that makes it more sturdy than other joggers we have tested. It also works with many car seats.

This compact, single to double stroller is ideal for urban adventures. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It features a UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade. It also has a window that peeks out from the front seat so that both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining space for infants and newborns. It can also be used with an infant seat, making it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that allows you to alter the configuration as your children grow. It is initially one pram but has adaptors that connect to the frame for a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models, however, they can be inserted through doors and are much easier to maneuver on the kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat in tandem which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great illustration of this type. It can be set up in 25 different ways using seats, car seat and carrycots. Our team was impressed by the way it is slim and light is for a two-seater and also provides a large and comfortable ride for the kids. Additionally, the clever and simple recline lever that is one-handed located on the back of the unit makes it simple to get your child in an upright position.

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

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have a major impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. Look out for multiple options so that you can change the direction your children's seats based on their mood or situation and continue to use them as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinets that allow siblings to face one another, you, or the exciting road ahead. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in either Mono or double tandem pushchair mode with a variety of accessories to suit both configurations.

The side-by-side configuration is a popular choice for parents who are just starting out. One child is seated behind the second. This type of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair, and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example, offers over 20 configurations which means you can pick the best set-up for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

If you want to take their twins jogging or for more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double buggy side-by-side into a jogger with both children facing towards the front. This lets you keep up with your running companion and keeps the kids happy while they play.

In general twin pushchairs can be a bit heavier than their single counterparts due to extra features, such as bigger baskets and padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before choosing this type of stroller. You might also discover that they're a bit more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair, and you might need to purchase 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 is within your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for your money. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can provide important information on the most suitable twin pushchair.

Stores

You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins so make sure you have a large undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets or compartments to stash 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 accommodate twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Thanks to the new design, you can put the cocoons facing either direction, or reverse. It comes with a convenient standing fold that makes it easy to keep in storage between usages.
