What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies of the same age, a twin pushchair can be a good option. They provide two spaces for your little ones and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for newborns as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face one another. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets the seat they prefer. It is also a good option when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they also tend to be larger and longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs, but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. It may not be the best choice for twins who are in their early years, as they will need to be of the same weight and age.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel, so it can also be used for off-road trails. It's a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight brings an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with an innovative lightest double stroller kit that attaches directly to the single seat. It comes with one swivel on the front and all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers we tested. It also works with a variety of car seats.

This slim, single to double stroller is perfect for urban excursions. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It features UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat to let both children 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 lay-flat space for infants and newborns. It can also accommodate the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair from birth pushchair is an adaptable option that allows you to alter the configuration as your children get older. The frame begins as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models, but they can fit through doors and are more suited to navigate on the 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 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy side by side buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations, including car seats and carrycots. Our team was impressed by the way it is slim and light is for a double stroller sale-seater, as well as offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for the kids. The intuitive and clever one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the seat unit also makes it easy for your child to lie flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be set to face either direction, or reverse, making it ideal for twins of any age. It can also accommodate a third child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board, which attaches to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have a major impact on the functionality of your twin pushchair. Be sure to look for a variety of options to change the direction of your child's seats based on their mood or the circumstances 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 and you, or the exciting path ahead. The clever frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode with a variety of accessories for both types of configuration.

The side-byside configuration is a popular option for new parents. One child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It generally narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance has more than 20 different configurations, so you can select the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins on jogging or to go on more adventurous excursions, 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 pace with your running partner and keep the kids content while they play.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier due to the extra features such as larger baskets and more cushioned seats. It is also possible that they're a little harder to manoeuvre than a single pushchair and you may have to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to shield your twins from the elements.

Checking the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as ensuring it's within your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value choose brands that place a high priority on sustainability and offer detailed information about their production methods. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can provide valuable insight on the best lightweight twin buggy pushchair.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot. Choose a vehicle equipped with a huge undercarriage basket and plenty of pockets and compartments to store your essentials. Make sure the storage areas are easy to access with the seats in different positions as well. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has space for the 'PiggyBack board' (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). With the new design, it is possible to attach the cocoons facing forward or backward. It also comes with a handy folding design that can be stored between use.
