Twin Pushchair It's Not As Expensive As You Think
What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great choice if you have two babies or children of a similar age. They offer two spaces for your infants to travel and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for newborns, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Be sure to look for models with push handles that are easy to use and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cups and a snack tray for parents and kids are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing the children to look at each the other. Some parents prefer this style since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets the seat they prefer. It is also a good option for trips to places like the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandems are generally more spacious than single buggy however they are generally larger and may feel longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child is outgrowing it. It's not the most suitable option for twins who are in their early years, as they'll need to be of a similar weight and age.

The jogger is a different kind of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can cope with off-road trails too. It's a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight is an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. It has one swivel on the front and an all-wheel suspension which makes it more sturdy than other joggers we have tested. It is also compatible with many car seats.

It has an UPF 50+ sun canopy that extends to provide real shade and an open window in the front seat, so both children can enjoy the view. The model doesn't have an inbuilt recline, but it can be used in conjunction with a Roma Gemini carrycot (PS100 each) to create a lay-flat area for infants and newborns. It can also be fitted with a toddler seat, making it three-seater.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair offers a flexible option, allowing you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your children get older. The frame is initially one pushchair but has adaptors attached to it to add a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These models tend to be wider than a regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are 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-by-side which is ideal for siblings of different age.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair could affect its functionality. Look out for multiple options so that you can alter 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.

This type of twin buggy is smaller than a standard pushchair, and can be pushed through doors and on public transportation. The Cybex Gazelle S Pushchair, for instance, has over 20 different configurations, so you can pick the ideal configuration for your family. it can even accommodate two carrycots or car seats in tandem mode.
