What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
A twin pushchair is an ideal choice if you have two babies or children with similar ages. They provide two places for your infants to travel, and usually come with comfy carrycots or chairs for newborns, and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.
Look out for models that have easy-to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cups and snack trays for parents and children are also handy.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred method of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over who is sitting where. It's also a good option for places like the zoo, where the children are able to be able to see each one another. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, but they also are wider and longer when they are pushed.
A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs, but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families expecting more than one child, and it means that you won't have to buy a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it may not be a good option for twins in the beginning as they'll need to be the same 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 comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel forward wheel and can be used for off-road trails. It's a bit heavier than other models however the extra weight comes with added durability.
The Phil & Ted Sport double buggy with car seat jogger can be used with either 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's also compatible with a wide range of car seats.
This compact stroller that converts from a single to a double is perfect for urban adventures. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It features a UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade. It also has a peekaboo window in the front seat, so both children can take in the view. This model does not come with recline built-in however it can be paired up with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat area for newborns or infants. It also fits an infant seat, making it a three-seater option for older children.
Convertible
A convertible twin pushchair is the flexibility to allow you to change the layout of your pushchair as your kids grow. The frame starts as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors that can be attached to accommodate a second seat or carrycot, or even a car seat. These types are generally bigger than typical buggy, but are able to fit through doorways and are more maneuverable up and down kerbs. They also permit you to use a toddler seat and infant car seat, or two carrycots side-byside which is ideal for siblings of different ages.
The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a great example of this type. It can be configured in a variety of ways, including seats, car seats and carrycots. Our test team liked how slim and lightweight double buggy it is for a dual-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for children. Additionally, the clever and easy one-handed recline lever located on the back of the seat unit makes it simple to help your child get into a lie-flat position.
The Uppababy Vista V2 is another model of a convertible twin stroller that has removable seats and can be set up to face either forward or backward which makes it suitable for twins of all terrain double stroller age groups. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that are attached to the middle frame are able to accommodate the third child.
Multiple configurations
The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could have a significant impact on its functionality. Be sure to look for a variety of options to change the direction of your children's seats according to their mood or the circumstances and continue to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product which is extremely versatile. It comes with a reversible bassinet and seat configurations, that allow siblings to be facing one another, you or on a brand new adventure. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.
A popular option for parents who are just starting out is a side-by-side configuration, in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin pushchair gives both children the same view. It is typically narrower than a single pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through the public transportation system and in doors. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair, for instance, has over 20 different configurations, so you can choose the perfect set-up for your family, and it can even accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.
The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, which is made for twins, to a Jogger. Both kids will be facing forward. This lets you keep up with your running partner and keep the kids content as they explore.
Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they have additional features, such as bigger baskets and padding for the seats. You may also find that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single to double stroller pushchair, and you may have to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.
It is equally important to assess the quality of a double pushchair, as it is to ensure that it's in line with your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and offer detailed information on their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the most value for money. You can also gain valuable insights into the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups on the internet or attending local events where you can talk to other parents about their experiences and suggestions.
Stores
If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot. Look for a car equipped with a huge undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets and compartments for your necessities. The storage areas should be easily accessible, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is able to carry twins as well as a baby and toddler. It also has room 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, it is possible to attach the cocoons either facing either way or backwards. It also has a convenient folding design that can be stored between usages.
