What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair could be a great option. They provide two spaces for your infants and are usually equipped with a comfortable carrycot for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

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

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face one another. This is the preferred choice of parents who believe it less likely to cause sibling squabbles over who sits where. It is also a good option for visiting places like the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies. However, they also are more spacious and longer when they are being pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs and then can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This can be an affordable option for families expecting more than one child and it means that you won't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best option for twins in the early months since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in a double or single mode and has 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 little heavier than some other options however the extra weight brings an increased durability.

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

This narrow, single-to-double travel stroller stroller is perfect for urban excursions with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It features an UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo window in the front seat for both children to take in 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 lay-flat space for newborns and infants. It can also be used with a toddler seat to make it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that allows you to alter the configuration as your kids get older. It starts out as one pram but has adaptors that attach to the frame for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These types are generally bigger than typical buggy, but are able to fit through doorways and are much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers in tandem, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a fantastic illustration of this type. It can be set up in a variety of ways, including seats, car seat and carrycots. Our test team liked how light and slim it is for a double-seater, as well as offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for kids. The simple and easy one-handed reclining lever on the back of the seat unit also makes it simple for your child to lay on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It has removable seats that can be placed to face either way, which makes it suitable for twins of any age. It also can accommodate another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board, which attaches to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your lightweight twin buggy pushchair may have a significant impact on its performance. You should consider various options that allow you to change the direction in which your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation, or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that let siblings to face each other, you, or the exciting route ahead. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It can be used either in Mono or double buggy newborn mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-by-side configuration is a popular choice for parents who are new. One child is seated behind the second. This type of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It generally narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to navigate in the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example offers more than 20 options, so you can select the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

If you want to take their twins on jogging or for more adventurous adventures, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double buggy side-by-side into an jogger that has both kids facing towards the front. This allows you to keep pace with your running companion while keeping your kids entertained.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier due to the additional features, such as larger baskets and more padded seats. You may also find that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair and you may have to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

It's equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair as it is to ensure that it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value choose brands that put a premium on sustainability and offer detailed details about their manufacturing processes. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can help you gain valuable insight on the best twin pushchairs.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Find a car equipped with a huge undercarriage basket as well as numerous compartments and pockets for your necessities. Make sure the storage areas are easily accessible using the seats positioned in different positions, too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' board (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the included cocoons (PS59 each) and the modified design allows you to attach them facing either way. It also comes with a handy standing fold for easy storage between usages.
