What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
A twin pushchair is the perfect choice if you have two babies or children of a similar age. They offer two spaces for your infants to travel and are usually equipped with comfy carrycots or chairs for newborns, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.
Look out for models that have easy-to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Accessories like cup holders and snack trays for parents and children are also helpful.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing both children to face one their respective faces. Some parents prefer this style because it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over the seat they prefer. It's also a great alternative for places such as the Zoo, where both children are able to be able to see each other. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies. However, they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are pushed.
Some twin buggies start as a single pushchair, but can be adapted to accommodate two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be a good option for twin babies in the beginning, because they'll need to be of similar 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 features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it is able to handle off-road trails as well. It is heavier than other alternatives however it offers durability.
The Phil & Ted Sport double pram for twins Jogger can be used with either the seat in the main compartment or with a handy double kit that attaches to the existing single seat. With one swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than other joggers we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats too.
This slim stroller, which is single to double, is perfect for urban excursions. Its ease of maneuverability and large basket make it ideal for urban adventures. It has an UPF50and sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view in the front seat to let both children take in the view. This model does not come with a built in recline, but it can be used with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to create a flat space for newborns or infants. It also fits an infant seat, making it a three-seater suitable for older children.
Convertible

It starts out as one pram but has adaptors that attach to the frame to add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat. These models are typically wider than a standard buggy but can often be able to pass through doors and are easier to maneuver up and down kerbs. They also allow you to use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots side-by-side which is great for siblings of varying age.
