What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect option if you have two kids or children of a similar age. They provide two places to transport your little ones and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants, as well as 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 holders and a tray for snacks for children and parents are also beneficial.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face each their respective faces. This is the preferred method of some parents who find it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles 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 buggy however they are generally larger and may feel longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to buy a brand new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best choice for twins in the early months since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

The model doesn't have an integrated recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lie-flat space for newborns and infants. It can also be fitted with a toddler's seat, making it an all-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides an option that is flexible, allowing you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your children get older. The frame starts as a single pushchair with adaptors attached to it to add a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models but they can fit through doors and are more suited to navigatfor a jog or go on more adventurous adventures with the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this double single pushchair buggy side-by-side into a jogger with both children facing forwards. This allows you to keep pace with your running partner and keep your kids entertained while they play.

In general twin pushchairs Double can be a little heavier than their single to double buggy counterparts due to additional features such as more spacious baskets and seats that are padded, so consider your lifestyle before you choose this kind of stroller. It is possible that they're a little heavier than a single to double stroller stroller, and that you need to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins.

Stores

If you have twins, you'll have to carry a lot of stuff. Look for a car with a large undercarriage storage basket and plenty of compartments and pockets for your necessities. The storage areas should be accessible even if the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby as well as add a 'PiggyBack' board for older children (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two newborns with the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Because of the new design, you can attach the cocoons facing forward or backward. It also has a convenient folding design that can be stored between uses.
