What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

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

Be on the lookout for models that have easy-to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack trays for parents and kids are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face each other. This is the preferred choice of some parents who find it less likely to trigger sibling rivalries over which side to sit in. It's also a good option for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to see each their fellow. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, however they also are wider and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families that are expecting more than one child, and it means that you won't have to purchase another buggy if your older child outgrows it. However, it might not be the best option for twin babies in the beginning, since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

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

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment or with a clever cheap double pushchair kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. It has one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers we have tested. It is also compatible with a variety of car seats.

This slim, single to double stroller is ideal for urban adventures. Its easy maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It has an UPF50and sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view from the front seat to let both children take in the view. This model does not come with recline built-in, but it can be paired up with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for infants or newborns. It can also be used with the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that lets you alter the configuration as your kids develop. It starts out as a single pram with adaptors that can be attached to the frame for a second seat, a carrycot or car seat. These types are generally wider than a regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are more maneuverable between kerbs. They also let you use a toddler car seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is great for siblings of various age.

The iCandy Peach 7 double pram pushchair buggy is a fantastic illustration of this type. It can be configured with 25 different ways using seats, car seat and carrycots. Our test team loved how light and slim it is for a double-seater, and also provides a large, sturdy and comfortable ride for the kids. Additionally, the clever and easy recline lever that is one-handed located at the back of the unit makes it easy to get your child in the position of lying flat.

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

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a major impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. You should look for a variety of options that will allow you to alter the direction your child's seat is facing based on their mood, situation, or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that is extremely versatile. It has a reversible bassinet and seat configurations, which allow siblings to face one another, you or embark on a new adventure. The clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the extra seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories available to suit both configurations.

A popular choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement, in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is narrower than a standard pushchair and is able to be moved through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance, offers over 20 configurations which means you can pick 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 for more adventurous adventures, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into a jogger with both children facing towards the front. This lets you keep up with your running partner and keeps the kids happy as they explore.

In general twin pushchairs can be a bit heavier than single pushchairs because they have extra features, such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before deciding on this type of stroller. You may also find they are a bit heavier than a single stroller, and that you need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades in order to protect your twins.

Verifying the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as ensuring that it's within your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money you can choose a brand that put a premium on sustainability and offer detailed details about their manufacturing methods. You can also gain valuable insight into the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events to speak to other parents about their experience and recommendations.

Storage

You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins, so make sure you have a large undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments or pockets to store your necessities. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has room 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 either direction, or reverse. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it simple to put away between uses.
