What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

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

Be on the lookout for models with easy-to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories such as cup holders and snack trays for both kids and parents are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred choice for some parents who feel it less likely to cause sibling rivalries over which side to sit in. It also works well for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can easily see each other. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggys but they tend to be more spacious and can feel longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is an economical option for families with more than one child. Additionally, it means you won't need to buy a new buggy when your older child has outgrown it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins who are in their beginning stages, since they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

Another type of lightweight twin buggy buggy is the jogger which can be used in single or double car seat stroller mode and accommodates two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can cope with off-road trails too. It's a bit heavier than other models however the extra weight brings added durability.
