What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option if you have two kids or children who are similar in age. They offer two places for your little ones and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack tray for children and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children face each other. Some parents prefer this style since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets the seat they prefer. It also works well for trips to places like the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggys however they tend to be wider and can feel long when being pushed.

Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy once your older child is outgrowing it. It may not be the best choice for twins who are in their early months, as they'll have to be the same weight and age.

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

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment or with a nifty double kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. With the single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than many other joggers we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.

This slim, single to double stroller is perfect for urban excursions. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It features a UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade. It also has an open window in the front seat, so both children can enjoy the view. This model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining area for infants and newborns. It can also be fitted with a toddler seat making it a three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to alter the layout as your children get older. It starts out as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that can be attached to the frame for an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models, but they can fit through doors and are easier to navigate on kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side-by-side, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a amazing example of double buggy that converts to single buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations using seats, car seats and carrycots. The iCandy Peach 7 is a great model of a double buggy that can be configured in a variety of ways, using seats, car seat and carrycots.

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

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have significant impact on the functionality of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for a variety of options that will permit you to change the direction that your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 twin strollers for newborns is an example of a product that's extremely versatile. It has a reversible seats and bassinets, which allow siblings to face each other, one another, or a new adventure. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the extra seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories that are available to suit both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for new parents is the side-by-side arrangement in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy is a bit narrower than a standard pushchair and can be maneuvered through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example, offers over 20 configurations, so you can select the best configuration for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side cheap double pushchair buggy, designed for twins, into the jogger. Both kids will be facing towards the front. This allows you to keep up with your running partner while keeping the kids happy.

In general twin pushchairs can be a little heavier than their single counterparts due to additional features such as bigger baskets and padded seats, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You might also notice that they weigh a bit more than a single stroller, and that you need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins.

It's equally important to check the quality of a double running stroller - see post - pushchair, as it is to make sure it fits into your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value choose brands that put a premium on sustainability and provide thorough details about their manufacturing procedures. You can also gain valuable insight into the best twin pushchairs for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or attending local events to speak to other parents about their experience and suggestions.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Choose a vehicle with a large undercarriage storage basket and plenty of compartments and pockets for your necessities. The storage areas should be easy to access, 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 space for the 'PiggyBack board' (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two infants using the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Thanks to the new design, you can attach the cocoons either facing forward or backward. It also has a handy folding design that can be stored between use.
