What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect option for families with two kids or children with similar ages. They offer two places for your children and usually come 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 and a GIANT basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack trays for parents and children are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face each other. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over which position. It's also a good alternative for places such as the zoo, where both children are able to be able to see each one another. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggy but they tend to be larger and may feel longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it may not be the best double buggy choice for twin babies in the beginning, because they'll need to be similar in age and weight.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger which can be used in a double or single mode and can accommodate two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it is able to handle off-road trails, too. It is heavier than other options but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. It comes with one swivel wheel at the front and all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers that we tested. It is also compatible with many car seats.

It features UPF 50+ sun canopy that expands to provide real shade and a window that peeks out from the front seat so both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't have an integrated recline however it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for newborns or infants. It can also accommodate an infant seat, making it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers an option that is flexible, allowing you to change the layout of your pushchair as your children grow. The frame begins as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors to allow for the addition of a second hand double buggy chair or carrycot, or even a car seat. These models are typically larger than the regular buggy, but they can be able to pass through doors and are much easier to maneuver between kerbs. They also let you use a toddler car seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots side-byside, which works well for siblings of various ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a wonderful example of this kind of. It can be configured with 25 different ways using seats, car seats and carrycots.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a major impact on the functioning of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for various options that permit you to change the direction in which your child's seat is facing based on their mood, the situation, or even as they grow.

It has reversible bassinet and seat configurations, which allows siblings to face one another, you, or a new adventure. The innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate the additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories available to suit both configurations.
