What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

If you have two children or babies with similar age, a twin pushchair could be a good option. They provide two places for your infants to travel and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with push handles that are easy to use and a GIANT storage basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also handy.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face each the other. This is the preferred style of some parents who find it less likely to trigger sibling rivalries over who sits where. It is also a good option when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, however they also tend to be larger and longer when being pushed.

Some twin strollers for newborns buggies start life as single pushchairs but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a new buggy after your older child is no longer using it. However, it might not be the best option for twins in the beginning because they'll need to be the same age and weight.

The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a smallest double buggy or single buggy and can accommodate two car seats. It has 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 added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that is attached to the existing single seat. It features one swivel wheel at the front and all-wheel suspension that makes it more stable than other joggers we tested. It also works with a variety of car seats.

It can also be fitted with a toddler seat making it a three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers the flexibility to allow you to adapt the layout of your pushchair as your children grow. It starts out as an individual pram, but it has adaptors that attach to the frame to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are wider than standard buggy models, however, they can be inserted through doors and are easier to navigate on kerbs. They also permit you to use a toddler seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots side-by-side, which works well for siblings of various age.

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that is extremely versatile. It comes with a reversible seat and bassinet configurations which allow siblings to face each other, you or on a brand new adventure. The innovative frame can be extended to accommodate an extra seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode, with a variety of accessories available to suit both configurations.

It is also possible that they're a little harder to maneuver than a single pushchair and you may have to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.
