What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect choice if you have two babies or children of a similar age. They provide two places to carry your children, and usually come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants, as well as car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack trays for parents and kids are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face one their respective faces. This is the preferred style for some parents who feel it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over who is sitting where. It's also a good option for places like the Zoo, where both children can easily view each other. Tandems can be larger than single buggy however they tend to be larger and may feel longer when being pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs, but 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 don't need to purchase a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. It's not the best option for twins in the beginning stages, since they'll have to be of a similar weight and age.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be utilized in double or single mode and has two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can handle off-road trails, too. It is a little heavier than other models but the extra weight comes with an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double running stroller Jogger can be used with either seat in the main compartment or with a nifty double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. With the single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than other joggers we've tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too.

This stroller is narrow and single-to-double. It is ideal for urban adventures with its easy manoeuvrability and large shopping basket. It comes with an UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo window in the front seat so that both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't have recline built-in however, it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for newborns or infants. It also fits a toddler seat to make it a three-seater option for older children.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to change the design of your pushchair as your children grow. It is initially a single pram with adaptors that connect to the frame to allow for a second seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are typically larger than the regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are more maneuverable up and down kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a toddler car seat side by side double stroller-by-side, which is great for siblings.

The iCandy Peach 7 is a fantastic example of this type of double buggy that can be used in a variety of configurations using seats, carrycots, and car seats. Our test team loved how light and slim it is for a dual-seater, and also provides a large comfortable, sturdy ride for the kids. The simple and easy one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the unit makes it easy for your child to lie down flat.

The Uppababy Vista V2 stroller is another model. It comes with removable seats that can be positioned to face forwards or backwards, making it suitable for twins of any age. It also can accommodate another child in the RumbleSeat or PiggyBack riding board that is attached to the middle of the frame.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair could significantly affect its performance. Be sure to look for a variety of options so that you can change the direction your children's seats based on their mood or the circumstances, as well as continuing to use the same ones as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another either with you or the exciting route ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It is able to be used in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

A popular choice of configuration for parents who are new is the side-by-side arrangement, which means that one child is seated behind the other. This type of twin buggy has the benefit of giving 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, comes with more than 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.

If you want to take their twins jogging or go on more adventurous adventures with the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double buggy side-by-side into an jogger that has both kids facing forwards. This lets you keep up with your running partner and keep the kids content as they explore.

Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier because they have extra features such as bigger baskets and cushioned seats. You may also find they're a little heavier than a single stroller and you'll need to buy additional accessories such as rain covers or sunshades in order to protect your twins.

It is equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair. This is because it's to ensure that it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure you're getting the best value for money. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can provide valuable insight on the best twin umbrella stroller pushchairs.

Storage

There will be a lot of things for twins, so choose a spacious undercarriage basket and plenty of compartments or pockets to store your necessities. Make sure that the storage areas are accessible with the seats in various positions too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and a baby, plus has room to add a 'PiggyBack' board for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini can accommodate two infants in the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each) The altered design lets you attach them facing either way. It also has a convenient folding stand that makes it easy to store between use.
