The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face one another. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which seat. It's also a good alternative for places such as the Zoo, where both children can easily see each their fellow. Tandems are often larger than single buggy but they tend to be wider and can feel long when being pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is an affordable option for families expecting more than one child and it means that you don't have to buy another buggy if your older child is outgrowing it. It's not the most suitable option for twins who are in their early years, as they'll need to be of a similar weight and age.

A convertible twin pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the configuration of your pushchair as your children grow.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier due to the additional features like larger baskets and more padding for the seats. It is also possible that they're a little harder to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you may need to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

Verifying the quality of a twin pushchair is just as important as ensuring it is within your budget and lifestyle.
