What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is an ideal option if you have two kids or children with similar ages. They offer two spaces to carry your children and typically come with comfy carrycots or chairs for infants as well as car seat compatibility for older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with push handles that are easy to use and a GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cups holders and a tray for snacks for children and parents are also useful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children face each other. Some parents like this design because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in the seat they prefer. It is also a good option when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggy however they are generally more spacious and can 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 can be an affordable option for families expecting more than one child, and it means that you don't have to purchase an entirely new buggy once your older child outgrows it. It's not the best choice for twins in their beginning stages, since they will need to be the same weight and age.

The Phil & Ted Sport double buggy that converts to single Jogger can be used with the seat in the main compartment or with an innovative lightweight double buggy kit that is attached directly to the single seat.

Convertible

They also permit you to use a toddler seat and infant car seat or two carrycots side-by-side which is great for siblings of different ages.

Our test team liked how light and slim it is for a two-seater while also offering a spacious, sturdy and comfortable ride for children.

It comes with a reversible seat and bassinet configurations which allows siblings to face each other, one another or on a brand new adventure.

The side-by-side configuration is a favorite choice for parents who are new. One child sits behind the other. This type of twin buggy offers the advantage of giving both children the same view. It generally narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance has more than 20 different configurations to choose the most suitable configuration for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to convert this side-by-side double buggy, which is made for twins, to the jogger. Both kids are facing towards the front. This lets you keep up with your running companion and keeps your kids entertained while they play.
