What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
A twin pushchair is an ideal choice if you have two kids or children who are similar in age. They have two seats for your infants and are usually 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. Accessories such as cup holders and snack trays for both kids and parents are also helpful.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face one another. Some parents like this design since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in which position. It is also a good option for trips to places like the zoo, where both children are able to see each other clearly. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggy but they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when they are pushed.
Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair and can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families expecting more than one child, and it means that you don't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. It might not be the best option for twins in their early months, as they'll have to be the same weight and age.
Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger that can be used in a
double running stroller or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can cope with off-road trails, too. It is heavier than other alternatives 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 comes with a single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension, which makes it more stable than other joggers we tested. It also works with many car seats.
This compact, single to double stroller (

It comes with a UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view from the front seat for both children to take in the view. This model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining area for infants and newborns. It can also be used with an infant seat, making it a three-seater for older children.
Convertible
A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that allows you to alter the layout as your children get older. The frame is initially a single pushchair with adaptors to allow for the addition of a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models however, they can be inserted through doors and are much easier to maneuver on roads. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers side by side, which is great for siblings.
The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a fantastic example of this kind of. It can be configured in a variety of ways, including seats, car seats and carrycots. The iCandy Peach 7 is a great model of a double buggy that can be configured in 25 different ways using seats, car seat and carrycots. In addition, the smart and easy one-handed recline lever located at the back of the unit makes it easy to get your child into the position of lying flat.
The Uppababy Vista V2 is another example of convertible twin strollers with seats that are removable and can be set to face either forward or backward making it suitable for twins of all different ages. It also can accommodate another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that attach to the middle of the frame.
Multiple configurations
The seating configuration of your twin pushchair may have a significant impact on its efficiency. It is important to look for various options that will allow you to change the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, the situation, or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that is extremely versatile. It comes with a reversible bassinet and seat configurations, which allows siblings to face one another, you or on a brand new adventure. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the additional seat. It can be used in either Mono or Double mode with a range of accessories to suit both configurations.
The side-byside configuration is a popular choice for new parents. One child sits behind the
second hand double buggy. This kind of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It is typically narrower than a single pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance offers more than 20 options, so you can select the best configuration for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.
The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, specifically designed for twins, into a Jogger. Both kids will face towards the front. This allows you to keep up with your running companion and keeps the kids happy while they play.
In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than single
pushchairs double because they come with extra features, such as more spacious baskets and seats that are padded, so consider your lifestyle before choosing this kind of stroller. It is possible that they're a little heavier than a single stroller, and you'll need purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to safeguard your twins.
Checking the quality of a twin pushchair is as important as ensuring it fits your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value, look for brands who place a high priority on sustainability and provide detailed details on their manufacturing procedures. You can also gain valuable information about the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events where you can talk to other parents about their experience and recommendations.
Storage
If you have twins, you'll need carry a lot of stuff. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage storage basket as well as plenty of compartments and pockets to store your essentials. The storage areas should be easy to access even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby and also include a 'PiggyBack' table for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the cocoons included (PS59 each), while the modified design allows you to attach them facing either way. It also has a handy folding design that can be stored between use.
