What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies that are the same age, a twin pushchair will be a great choice. They have two seats for your little ones and are typically equipped with a comfortable carrycot for newborns 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 cups and snack trays for both kids and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows the children to look at each other. Some parents prefer this style since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over which seat. It's also a great option for places such as the zoo, where both children are able to view each other. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they also tend to be wider and longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families with more than one child and it means that you don't have to buy another buggy if your older child is outgrowing it. It may not be the best choice for twins in their early months, as they'll have to be the same weight and age.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double car seat stroller 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 models but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative double Stroller with large Canopy kit that is attached directly to the single seat. With the single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than many other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats as well.

This narrow, single-to-double stroller is ideal for urban adventures due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade, and a window that peeks out from the front seat so both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have 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 fitted with a toddler seat making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option, allowing you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your kids grow. It is initially a single pram with adaptors that attach to the frame for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are easier to navigate on the kerbs. They also let you use a toddler car seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is ideal for siblings of different age.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations that include carrycots and car seats.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair may affect its functionality. Consider a variety of seating options so that you can change the direction of your child's seats according to their mood or situation, as well as continuing to use them as they develop.

The frame can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.

A popular choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is a side-by-side configuration, in which one child sits behind the other. This kind of twin buggy gives both children the same view and generally narrower than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to maneuver through 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 accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to turn this side-byside double buggy, specifically designed for twins, into a running jogger. Both kids will face towards the front. This allows you to keep pace with your running partner and keeps your kids entertained while they play.

Take into consideration your lifestyle when you choose a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they come with additional features, such as larger baskets and extra padding for the seats. You may also find they're a little heavier than a single stroller and you'll need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to safeguard your twins.
