What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
If you have two children or babies with the same age, a twin pushchair will be a great option. They have two places for your infants to travel, and usually come with comfy carrycots or chairs for infants, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.
Look out for models that have easy-to-use push handles and an GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for parents and children are also handy.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred choice of some parents who find it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over who sits where. It's also a good option for places like the zoo, where both children are able to easily see each other. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggy however they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when they are pushed.
Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair and can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is an economical option for families expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means that you don't have to buy a new buggy when your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be the best choice for twin babies in the beginning, because they'll need to be similar in age and weight.
The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. single to double stroller comes with a swivel rear wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off-road trails too. It is a little heavier than other models but the extra weight comes with an increased durability.
The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative double kit that is attached directly to the single seat. It has one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers that we have tested. It is also compatible with a variety of car seats.

It comes with UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade. It also has a peekaboo window in the front seat so that both children can take in the view. This model does not come with an integrated recline however it can be paired up with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for infants and newborns. double umbrella stroller can also accommodate a toddler seat to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.
Convertible
A convertible twin pushchair offers a flexible option, allowing you to change the configuration of your pushchair as your children grow. The frame is initially one pushchair but has adaptors that can be attached to add a second chair or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are larger than standard buggy models, however, they are able to fit through doors and are much easier to maneuver on the kerbs. They also let you use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots side-byside which is great for siblings of various ages.
The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a fantastic example of this kind of. It can be configured in 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. The Peach 7 from the iCandy brand is an excellent example of a double buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways by using car seats, chairs and carrycots. The simple and easy one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the unit also makes it simple for your child to lay on their backs.
The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with removable seats that can be placed to face either direction, or reverse, making it ideal for twins of any age. It can also accommodate another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board, which attaches to the middle of the frame.
Multiple configurations
The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair may significantly affect its efficiency. Look out for multiple options so that you can change the direction your children's seats according to their mood or the situation and also continue to use them as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seat and bassinets that allow siblings to face each other, you, or the exciting route ahead. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.
The side-by-side arrangement is a popular option for parents who are just starting out. One child sits behind the second. This type of twin buggy is narrower than a standard pushchair and can be pushed through doors and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example, offers over 20 configurations to choose the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.
The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, which is designed for twins, into the running jogger. Both kids will be facing forward. This allows you to keep pace with your running partner and keep the kids content while they play.
In general twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than single pushchairs because they come with additional features like larger baskets and extra-padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before deciding on this type of stroller. You may also find that they're more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair and you might need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to shield your twins from the elements.
It is equally important to assess the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it is to ensure that it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. To get the most value for money you can choose a brand that place a high priority on sustainability and offer detailed details on their manufacturing processes. You can also gain valuable insights into the best twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events where you can talk to other parents about their experiences and suggestions.
Storage
There will be a lot of stuff for twins, so look for a spacious undercarriage basket and plenty of compartments or pockets to store your essentials. Make sure the storage areas are easy to access with the seats in various positions as well. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has space for the 'PiggyBack board' (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the included cocoons (PS59 each), while the altered design lets you connect them facing either direction. It also has a handy folding design that can be stored between usages.
