What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two kids or babies that are similar age, a twin pushchair could be a great option. They offer two spaces to transport your little ones and are usually equipped with comfortable carrycots or seats for newborns, as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy-to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack trays for parents and kids are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows the children to look at each their respective faces. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to cause sibling squabbles over who sits where. It is also a good alternative for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to easily see each their fellow. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, but they also tend to be wider and longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families expecting more than one child, and it means that you won't have to buy a new buggy when your older child has outgrown it. It may not be the best choice for twins in the early years, as they will need to be the same weight and age.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy, and can hold two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it is able to handle off-road trails too. It is heavier than other options but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative double kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. It comes with one swivel wheel at the front and an all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers that we've tested. It's also compatible with a variety of car seats.

This compact stroller that converts from a single to a double is perfect for urban excursions. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It comes with an UPF 50+ sun canopy that expands to provide real shade. It also has an open window in the front seat so both children can enjoy the view. This model does not have recline built-in, but it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for infants or newborns. It can also accommodate an infant seat, making it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your kids grow. The frame is initially an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors attached to it to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models, however, they can be inserted through doors and are much easier to move around kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations that include carrycots, and car seats. Our test team liked how slim and lightweight it is for a double-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for kids. The intuitive and clever one-handed reclining lever at the rear of the seat unit makes it easy for your child to lie flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of a convertible twin stroller with seats that can be removed and can be set up to face either forward or backward which makes it suitable for twins of all different ages. It also can accommodate another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have an impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. You should look for several options that allow you to change the direction in which your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation, or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that let siblings to face each other either with you or the exciting route ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement, where one child sits behind the other. This type of twin strollers for newborns buggy offers the advantage of giving both children the same view. It is generally more compact than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, has over 20 different configurations, so you can choose the perfect set-up for your family, and it can even take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins on jogging or to go on more adventurous excursions The Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy a jogger with both kids facing forwards. This lets you keep pace with your running partner and keep your kids entertained while they play.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a little heavier than single pushchairs because they come with extra features, such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You might also discover that they're more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you might need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.

It's equally important to assess 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 that you're getting the best value for money.

Storage

You'll have to carry a lot of things for twins, so look for a spacious undercarriage basket and plenty of pockets or compartments to store your necessities. The storage areas should be accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' board (PS120) for older children. 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 comes with a handy folding stand that makes it easy to store between use.
