What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies that are similar age, a twin pushchair can be a great option. They have two places to transport your little ones and typically come with comfortable carrycots or seats for newborns, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

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

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to cause sibling squabbles over who sits where. It's also a great option for places like the Zoo, where both children are able to be able to see each one another. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, however they also tend to be larger and longer when they are pushed.





Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. 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 of similar age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger which can be used in single or double mode and can accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel which means it can be used on trails that are off-road. It's a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight comes with an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either the main compartment or with a nifty double kit that is attached to the existing single seat. With one swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than many other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats as well.

It comes with UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view in the front seat to let both children enjoy the view. This 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 infants and newborns. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an adaptable option that allows you to alter the layout as your children grow. It is initially a single pram with adaptors that attach to the frame to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are typically bigger than typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are much easier to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. They also permit you to use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots side-by-side which is great for siblings of different age.

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. double pram pushchair from the iCandy brand is an excellent example of a double buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways, with car seats, seats and carrycots.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have a major impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for a variety of options that allow you to alter the direction your child's seat is facing based on their mood, situation or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely adaptable. 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 expands to accommodate a second seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-byside configuration is a favorite choice for new parents. 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 a single pushchair, making it easier to navigate in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes with more than 20 different configurations so that you can pick the ideal configuration for your family, and it can even accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, which is made for twins, to the running jogger. Both kids will face forward. This lets you keep on top of your running partner and keep the kids content 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 Consider your lifestyle before choosing this type of stroller. You may also find that they're a little harder to maneuver 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 is equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair, as it is to make sure it fits into your budget and lifestyle. Choose brands that are committed to sustainability and offer detailed information on their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for money.

Storage

You'll be carrying lots of things for twins, so look for a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets or compartments 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 or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the cocoons included (PS59 each), while the rejigged design means you can attach them facing either way. It also has a handy folding stand that makes it easy to store between uses.
