What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

Look out for models with easy to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack tray for parents and children are also handy.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face one another. This is the preferred method for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling rivalries over which side to sit in. It is also ideal when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies, however they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are they are pushed.
Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair and can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child is no longer using it. It's not the most suitable option for twins who are in their beginning stages, since they will need to be the same weight and age.
Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in single or double infant strollers mode and accommodates two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it is able to handle off-road trails as well. It is a bit heavier than other models however the extra weight is added durability.
The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that attaches directly to the single seat. With a single 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 too.
