What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
If you have two children or babies of the same age, a twin pushchair will be a great option. They offer two spaces to transport your little ones and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for newborns, and car seat compatibility for older toddlers.
Be sure to look for models with push handles that are easy to use and an GIANT storage basket. Add-ons such as cups and a snack tray for children and parents are also beneficial.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets which position. It also works well when visiting places such as the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies. However, they are also larger and longer when they are pushed.
Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won't have to buy a brand new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best option for twins in the early months as they'll need to be similar in age and weight.
Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger that can be used in single or double tandem pushchair mode and can accommodate two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off-road trails, too. It is heavier than other options but it also has durability.
The Phil & Ted Sport double stroller with bassinet Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative double kit that is attached directly to the single seat. With one swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than other joggers we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats as well.
This compact, single to double stroller is perfect for urban excursions. Its easy maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It comes with an UPF 50+ sun canopy that can be extended to provide real shade. It also has a window that peeks out from the front seat so that both children can take in the view. The model doesn't come with an integrated recline, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a reclining area for infants and newborns. It can also accommodate the seat of a toddler to make it a three-seater suitable for older children.
Convertible
A convertible twin pushchair is a flexible option that allows you to alter the configuration as your kids get older. The frame begins as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors to allow for the addition of a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These models tend to be bigger than standard buggy but can often fit through doorways and are much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. They also let you use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat, or two carrycots side-byside, which works well for siblings of varying ages.
