What to Look For in a twin stroller Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies of similar age, a twin pushchair could be a good option. They have two places for your infants to travel and are usually equipped with comfy carrycots or chairs for newborns, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Find models with push handles that are easy to use and the GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cups and a snack tray for kids and parents are also beneficial.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows the children to look at each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over which seat. It also works well for trips to places like the zoo where both kids can see each other easily. Tandems are generally larger than single buggy but they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won't have to buy a brand new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be the best double buggy option for twin babies in the early months as they'll need to be of similar age and weight.

The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a single or small double buggy buggy, and can hold two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward steering wheel and can be used for off-road trails. It is heavier than other models but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. It has a single swivel wheel on the front and an all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers we tested. It also works with a variety of car seats.

This narrow, single-to-double stroller is ideal for urban adventures with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It features UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade, and a window that peeks out from the front seat so that both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have a built in recline however it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for newborns or infants. It also fits a toddler seat to make it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to change the configuration as your children grow. It begins as one pram but has adaptors that attach to the frame to add a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are typically larger than the regular buggy, but they can be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable up and down kerbs. They also let you use a toddler car seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots side-by-side which is great for siblings of different ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations, including car seats and carrycots. Our test team liked the way it is slim and light is for a two-seater as well as offering a spacious, sturdy and comfortable ride for the kids. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining mechanism on the rear of the seat unit also makes it easy for your child to lie on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of convertible twin strollers with seats that are removable and can be set up to face forward or backward, making it suitable for twins of all ages. It also accommodates another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair from birth pushchair can significantly affect its performance. You should look for a variety of options that will allow you to alter the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, situation or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that is extremely adaptable. It has a reversible bassinet and seat configurations, which allow siblings to face each other, one another, or a new adventure. The frame's clever design can be extended to accommodate an additional seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories available for both configurations.

The side-by-side arrangement is a favorite choice for parents who are new. One child sits behind the second. This kind of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair, and can be maneuvered through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance, offers over 20 configurations, so you can select the best set-up for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

If you want to take their twins for a jog or for more adventurous adventures The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double jogging stroller buggy into a jogger with both kids facing forwards. This lets you keep pace with your running partner while keeping your children happy.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than single pushchairs due to extra features, such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats Consider your lifestyle before deciding on this kind of stroller. You may also find they are a bit heavier than a single stroller and that you need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins.

Checking the quality of twin pushchairs is just as important as ensuring that it's within your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value you can choose a brand that have a strong focus on sustainability and provide detailed details on their manufacturing procedures.

Storage

There will be a lot of stuff for twins so look for a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets or compartments to store your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and a baby and also add the 'PiggyBack' board for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons included (PS59 each). With the new design, you can attach the cocoons either facing either direction, or reverse. It also comes with a handy standing fold for easy storage between usages.
