Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred style of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling squabbles over who is sitting where. It is also a good option for visiting places like the zoo where both kids are able to see each other clearly. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies. However, they also tend to be wider and longer when they are pushed.

Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This can be a cost-effective solution for families that are expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means that you won't have to purchase another buggy if your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best twin stroller choice for twins in the beginning because they'll need to be the same age and weight.

Another kind of twin buggy is the jogger, which can be used in a double or single mode and has two car seats. It comes with an air-filled tyre and a swivel-forward wheel, so it can also be used on off-road trails. It is heavier than other options but it also has durability.

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

They also allow you to use a toddler seat as well as an infant car seat or two carrycots side-byside which is ideal for siblings of various age.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair may have a significant impact on its functionality. You should consider various options that allow you to change the direction that your child's seat is positioned based on their mood, the situation, or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to be facing each other and you, or the exciting path ahead. The frame's clever design can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. It can be used in Mono or Double mode, with a range of accessories for both types of configuration.

A popular option for parents who are just starting out is the side-by-side arrangement, in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin pushchair has the benefit of giving both children the same view and is typically narrower than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to maneuver in doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance, offers over 20 configurations, so you can select the best configuration for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

The Valco Jump Seat attachment allows you to transform this side-by-side double buggy, which is specifically designed for twins, into a running jogger. Both kids will face forward. This lets you keep on top of your running partner and keeps your kids entertained while they play.

You may also find they're a little heavier than a single stroller, and that you need to purchase additional accessories, such as rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins.
