What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option if you have two children or kids of a similar age. They offer two places for your children and usually come with comfortable carrycots for newborns as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Find models that have easy-to-use push handles and a GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cups holders and a tray for snacks for parents and kids are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children face each other. Some parents prefer this style since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which seat. It's also a great option for places like the zoo, where both children can easily view each one another. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they also are wider and longer when they are 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 can be an economical option for families expecting more than one child and it means that you don't have to purchase another buggy if your older child outgrows it. It might not be the best choice for twins in their early months, as they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a nipper double buggy or single buggy and can accommodate two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel, so it can also be used on off-road trails. It is heavier than other alternatives but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport small double stroller Jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. With the single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than many other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too.

This stroller is narrow and single-to-Thule Double Stroller. It is perfect for urban excursions due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It features UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide shade, and an open window in the front seat so both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have a built in recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for infants or newborns. It also fits the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that lets you alter the layout as your children get older. The frame starts as one pushchair but has adaptors attached to it to allow for the addition of a second chair such as a carrycot or car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are easier to move around roads. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat in tandem which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a fantastic illustration of this type. It can be set up in 25 different ways using seats, car seat and carrycots. Our test team liked how slim and lightweight double pushchair it is for a two-seater as well as offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for children. The simple and easy one-handed reclining lever at the back of the unit makes it easy for your child to lie on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be positioned to face either way, which makes it ideal for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that are attached to the middle frame are able to accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair can significantly affect its efficiency. Look out for multiple options so that you can change the direction of your children's seats according to their mood or the circumstances and continue to use them as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another and you, or the exciting route ahead. The innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories available for both types of configuration.

A common choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement which means that one child is seated 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 maneuver through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair, for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations so you can choose the perfect set-up for your family. it can even accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.

For those who wish to take their twins jogging or to go on more adventurous excursions The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy a jogger with both children facing towards the front. This lets you keep up with your running companion while keeping your children happy.

In general twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than single pushchairs due to extra features, such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You might also notice that they are a bit heavier than a single stroller and you'll need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins.

It's equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair, as it's to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. Choose brands that are committed to sustainability and offer detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for money. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can help you gain valuable information about the best twin pushchairs.

Storage

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