Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face each other. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over the seat they prefer. It also works well when visiting places such as the zoo, where both children are able to see each other clearly. Tandems can be larger than single buggy however they tend to be wider and can feel long when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This can be an economical option for families expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means that you won't have to purchase an entirely new buggy once your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be the best choice for twin babies in the beginning as they'll need to be similar in age and weight.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and air-filled tyres, so it is able to handle off-road trails too. It is a bit heavier than some other options but the extra weight is added 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. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it can handle rough terrain better than many other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats as well.

Multiple configurations

The seating configuration of your twin pushchair could have a significant impact on its efficiency. Be sure to look for a variety of options to alter the direction of your child's seats based on their mood or situation, as well as continuing to use them as they grow.

Stores

The storage areas should be easy to access, even when the seats are in different positions. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and baby and also add the 'PiggyBack' board for older children (PS120).
