What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal option if you have two children or kids who are similar in age. They have two seats for your children and are usually equipped with a comfortable carrycot for newborns and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

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

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which position. It is also a good option when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggys however they tend to be wider and can feel long when being pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best choice for twins in the early months since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy and can accommodate two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can cope with Off road Double Buggy-road trails as well. It is heavier than other alternatives but it also has durability.

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

This narrow stroller, which is single to double, is ideal for urban adventures. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It has an UPF50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view in the front seat to let both children take in the view. The model doesn't come with a built-in recline but can be paired with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining space for infants and newborns. It can also accommodate the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to change the configuration as your children develop. The frame begins as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors that can be attached to allow for the addition of a second chair such as a carrycot or car seat. These models are typically larger than the regular buggy, but they can be able to pass through doors and are easier to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. They also let you use a toddler seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots that are side-by-side which is great for siblings of different ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a excellent example of double buggy that can be used in 25 different configurations using seats, car seats and carrycots. Our test team loved how light and slim it is for a double-seater, and also provides a large and comfortable ride for the kids. Additionally, the clever and intuitive recline lever that is one-handed on the back of the unit makes it simple to help your child get into a lie-flat position.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another example. It has removable seats that can be placed to face either direction, or reverse, making it ideal for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that are attached to the middle frame could accommodate an additional child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a an impact on the functionality of your twin pushchair. Look out for multiple options so that you can switch up the direction of your children's seats based on their mood or the circumstances and continue to use them as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely versatile. It has a reversible seats and bassinets, which allow siblings to face each other, one another or on a brand new adventure. The clever frame expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat and can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories available for both configurations.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are just starting out is the side-by-side arrangement which means that one child is seated behind the other. This type of twin buggy has the benefit of giving both children the same view and is typically narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to navigate in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example has more than 20 different configurations, 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 transform this side-by-side double umbrella stroller buggy, designed for twins, into a jogger. Both kids will be facing forward. This lets you keep on top of your running companion and keeps the kids happy as they explore.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin umbrella stroller pushchair. They are generally heavier due to the extra features such as larger baskets and more padding for the seats. You may also find that they're a little harder to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you might need to buy additional accessories such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.

It's equally important to assess the quality of a double pushchair double as it is to make sure it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for your money. You can also gain valuable information about the best twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or at local events to speak to other parents about their experience and suggestions.

Storage

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Look for a car with a large undercarriage basket as well as plenty of compartments and pockets to store your essentials. Make sure that the storage areas are accessible with the seats in different positions too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins, a baby and a toddler. It also has space for a 'PiggyBack' table (PS120) for older children. The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons included (PS59 each). Thanks to the new design, you can attach the cocoons either facing either direction, or reverse. It has a convenient standing fold that makes it simple to put away between usages.
