What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies that are the same age, a twin pushchair will be a great option. They have two places for your infants to travel, and usually come with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants, and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

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

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows the children to look at each other. This is the preferred choice of some parents who find it less likely to trigger sibling fights over which side to sit in. It is also a good alternative for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to view each other. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, however they are also wider and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is an affordable option for families with more than one child. Additionally, it means you won't need to buy another buggy if your older child is outgrowing it. It's not the best option for twins in the early years, as they'll need to be of the same weight and age.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off-road trails as well. It's a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight brings an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger is a great choice for either the main compartment, or with a nifty double kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. It has one swivel wheel at the front and an all-wheel suspension that makes it more sturdy than other joggers we've tested. It also works with a wide range of car seats.

This narrow, single to double stroller-to-double stroller is ideal for urban adventures thanks to its simple maneuverability and large shopping basket. It features a 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. This model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat space for newborns and infants. It can also be outfitted with a toddler seat making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is an option that is flexible, allowing you to adapt the layout of your pushchair as your children grow. The frame begins as a single pushchair with adaptors that can be attached to accommodate a second seat such as a carrycot or car seat. These types are generally larger than the standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are easier to maneuver between kerbs. They also permit you to use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is ideal for siblings of different age.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a fantastic illustration of this type. It can be configured in 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots. Our test team loved how slim and lightweight it is for a dual-seater, as well as offering a spacious, sturdy and comfortable ride for kids. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining lever at the back of the unit makes it easy for your child to lay on their backs.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be set to face either direction, or reverse, making it ideal for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that attach to the middle frame can accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration can have an impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. You should consider various options that permit you to change the direction that your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation, or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely adaptable. It comes with a reversible bassinet and seat configurations, which allow siblings to face each other, you or on a brand new adventure. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is the side-by-side arrangement, in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin pushchair gives both children the same view. It generally narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance, offers over 20 configurations, so you can select the best set-up for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

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

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier due to the extra features such as bigger baskets and padding for the seats. You might also notice that they're a little heavier than a single stroller, and that you need to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins.

It's equally important to check the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it is to make sure 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 you're getting the most value for money. Joining parenting groups online or attending local events can provide valuable insight on the best twin pushchair.

Storage

You'll be carrying lots of stuff for twins, so choose a spacious undercarriage basket with plenty of pockets or compartments to store your essentials. The storage areas should be accessible even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to accommodate 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 cocoons included (PS59 each) The rejigged design means you can attach them facing either way. It also has a handy standing fold for easy storage between uses.
