What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option if you have two babies or children of a similar age. They provide two places to carry your children and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

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

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing both children to face one the other. This is the preferred method of some parents who find it less likely to trigger sibling fights over who is sitting where. It also works well for visiting places like the zoo, where both children can easily see each other. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies. However, they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are they are pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families with more than one child. Additionally, it means that you won't have to purchase an entirely new buggy once your older child is outgrowing it. It may not be the best option for twins in their early years, as they will need to be of the same weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger that can be used in a cheap double buggy or single mode and has two car seats. It has an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel which means it can be used on off-road trails. It is heavier than other options but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger is a great choice for either seat in the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. It features one swivel on the front and all-wheel suspension which makes it more sturdy than other joggers we've tested. It is also compatible with many car seats.

This compact, single-to-double stroller double is ideal for urban adventures due to its ease of maneuverability and large shopping basket. It has a UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade, and a peekaboo view from the front seat for both children to take in the view. The model doesn't come with an integrated recline, but it can be paired with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lie-flat space for newborns and infants. It can also be used with an infant seat, making it a three-seater for older children.

Convertible

A convertible lightweight twin stroller pushchair is an adaptable option that allows you to alter the configuration as your children develop. It is initially a single pram with adaptors that attach to the frame to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models tend to be larger than the standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are more maneuverable up and down kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat in tandem which is ideal for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations that include carrycots, and car seats. Our test team liked how light and slim it is for a double pushchair-seater, and also provides a large, sturdy and comfortable ride for children. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever on the back of the unit also makes it simple for your child to lie flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It comes with removable seats that can be set to face forwards or backwards, making it suitable for twins of any age. It can also accommodate a third child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board, which attaches to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair could affect its efficiency. Be sure to look for a variety of options to switch up the direction 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 extremely versatile, with reversible seat and bassinets that allow siblings to be facing each other either with you or the exciting route ahead. The frame expands to accommodate an extra seat. It is able to 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 kind of twin buggy gives both children the same view. It is generally more compact than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair for instance, comes in over 20 different configurations so that you can choose the best configuration for your family, and it can even accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, specifically designed for twins, into an Jogger. Both kids are facing towards the forward direction. This lets you keep pace with your running partner and keeps your kids entertained as they explore.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they come with additional features like bigger baskets and padded seats. It is possible that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller, and that you need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades in order to protect your twins.

Verifying the quality of a twin pushchair is as important as making sure it is within your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and offer detailed information on their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the most value for money. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can help you gain important information on the most suitable twin pushchairs.

Storage

You'll be carrying lots of things for twins, so make sure you have a large undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments or pockets to stash your essentials. The storage areas should be easy to access even if the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins or a baby as well as a 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) and the modified design allows you to put them in any direction. It also comes with a handy folding stand that makes it easy to store between use.
