What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect choice if you have two children or kids of a similar age. They offer two spaces to carry your children and are usually equipped with comfortable carrycots or seats for infants as well as car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each the other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair because it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets the seat they prefer. It's also a good alternative for places such as the zoo, where the children are able to easily be able to see each their fellow. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies. However, they also are wider and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots with an adapter. This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a brand new buggy when your older child is no longer using it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins in their early years, as they'll have to be of the same weight and age.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy and can accommodate two car seats. It comes with a swivel rear wheel and air-filled tyres so it can handle off-road trails, too. It is heavier than other models, but it has added durability.

Convertible
