What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option for families with two kids or children with similar ages. They offer two spaces to carry your children and are usually equipped with cosy carrycots or seats for infants and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cups holders and a tray for snacks for children and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children face each other. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to cause sibling fights over who is sitting where. It's also a great option for places such as the zoo, where both children are able to see each one another. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggy however they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy when your older child is no longer using it. However, it may not be the best choice for twin babies in the beginning as they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger which can be utilized in double or single mode and has two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can cope with off-road trails too. It is heavier than other models however it offers durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment or with a clever double kit that attaches directly to the single seat. With one swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than many other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats as well.

This compact, single to small double buggy stroller (Read More On this page) is perfect for urban excursions. Its simple maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It comes with a UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade, and a window that peeks out from the front seat so that both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat space for infants and newborns. It can also accommodate a toddler seat to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that lets you alter the configuration as your kids grow. The frame starts as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors that can be attached to accommodate a second seat, carrycot or a car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are easier to maneuver on the kerbs. These models let you use two carrycots or a toddler car seat in tandem, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great illustration of this type. It can be configured in a variety of ways, including seats, car seats and carrycots. Our test team loved how slim and lightweight double buggy it is for a dual-seater, while also offering a spacious and comfortable ride for children. Additionally, the clever and intuitive one-handed recline lever located at the back of the unit makes it simple to get your child in the position of lying flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It comes with seats that can be removed that can be placed to face either way, which makes it ideal for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that attach to the middle frame could accommodate an additional child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair may affect its functionality. You should consider various options that will permit you to change the direction your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, circumstances or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that's extremely adaptable. It has reversible seat and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other, one another or on a brand new adventure. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories that are available for both types of configuration.

The side-by-side arrangement is a popular choice for parents who are just starting out. One child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view. It is generally more compact than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance offers more than 20 options, so you can select the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also accommodate 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 a jogger. Both kids will be facing towards the front. This lets you keep pace with your running companion and keeps the kids happy while they play.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier due to the extra features such as bigger baskets and cushioned seats. You may also find they weigh a bit more than a single stroller and you'll need purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins.

It is equally important to test the quality of a nipper double buggy pushchair as it is to ensure that it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the best value for money. You can also gain valuable insights into the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events to speak to other parents about their experiences and recommendations.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll need to carry a lot. Find a car with a large undercarriage storage basket as well as plenty of compartments and pockets to store your essentials. Make sure that the storage spaces are easy to access with the seats in various positions too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins or a baby as well as a toddler. It also has room for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons included (PS59 each). Thanks to the new design, you can put the cocoons with either a either way or backwards. It also has a convenient folding design that can be stored between usages.
