What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect choice if you have two babies or children who are similar in age. They provide two places to carry your children and are usually equipped with comfy carrycots or chairs for infants and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with easy-to-use push handles and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cups holders and a tray for snacks for children and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in which position. It is also ideal for trips to places like the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggys however they tend to be wider and can feel long when pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair, but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to buy a brand new buggy after your older child is no longer using it. However, it may not be a good option for twin babies in the beginning since they'll have to be the same age and weight.

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

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment or with a clever double kit that is attached directly to the single seat. It features one swivel wheel at the front and all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers we've tested. It also works with a wide range of car seats.

This compact, single-to-double buggy travel system stroller is perfect for urban excursions with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It comes with a UPF 50+ sun canopy that expands to provide shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat so both children can take in the view. This model does not come with recline built-in however it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for infants or newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat, making it a three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides the flexibility to allow you to adapt the layout of your pushchair as your kids grow. It starts out as one pram but has adaptors that can be attached to the frame to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be larger than the typical buggy, but are able to fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. They also allow you to use a toddler seat and infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is great for siblings of different ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations using seats, carrycots and car seats. Our test team loved the way it is slim and light is for a double pram pushchair-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for kids. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever on the back of the seat unit makes it easy for your child to lie on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of convertible twin strollers (here) with seats that can be removed and can be set up to face either forward or backward, making it suitable for twins of all ages. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame are able to accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair may significantly affect its efficiency. You should look for several options that will allow you to change the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, circumstances or even as they become. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that is extremely adaptable. It has a reversible seat and bassinet configurations which allow siblings to face each other, you, or a new adventure. The frame's clever design can be extended to accommodate an extra seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode with a variety of accessories that are 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 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 example, offers over 20 configurations to choose the best set-up 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 for a jog or for more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy into a jogger with both kids facing forwards. This lets you keep up with your running partner and keeps the kids content as they explore.

In general twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than their single counterparts because they have additional features like bigger baskets and padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You may also find they're a little heavier than a single stroller, and you'll need purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to safeguard your twins.

Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is 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 you're getting the best value for money. You can also gain valuable information about the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events to speak to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.

Storage

You'll have to carry a lot of stuff for twins so choose a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments or pockets to stash your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible even when 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 the 'PiggyBack board' (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the cocoons included (PS59 each), while the rejigged design means you can put them in any direction. It also comes with a handy folding stand that makes it easy to store between uses.
