What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each their respective faces. Some parents prefer this style since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets the seat they prefer. It's also a great option for places like the zoo, where both children can easily view each one another. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, however they also are more spacious 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 with an adapter. This can be an economical option for families that are expecting more than one child, and it means that you won't have to buy an entirely new buggy once your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best option for twin babies in the beginning because they'll need to be the same age and weight.

The seating configuration can have an impact on the performance of your twin pushchair.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double to single buggy buggy, which is specifically designed for twins, into a running jogger. Both kids will face forward. This allows you to keep on top of your running companion and keeps the kids content while they play.
