The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face each other. Some parents like this design because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over which position. It is also a good option for places like the zoo, where both children can easily see each one another.

However, it might not be the best option for twins in the early months as they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in a double or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel forward wheel and can be used on off-road trails. It is a little heavier than some other options however the extra weight brings the added durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that is attached to the existing single seat. It has a single swivel wheel on the front and an all-wheel suspension, which makes it more stable than other joggers that we tested. It also works with a variety of car seats.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair can have a significant impact on its functionality. It is important to look for several options that will allow you to change the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, circumstances or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seat and bassinets that allow siblings to face one another, you, or the exciting road ahead. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the extra seat and can be used in either Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories that are available to suit both configurations.

In general twin pushchairs can be a bit heavier than their single counterparts because they come with additional features such as larger baskets and extra-padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before deciding on this type of stroller. You might also discover that they're more difficult to manoeuvre than a single pushchair, and you may have to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.
