A twin pushchair is a great choice if you have two babies or children of a similar age. They provide two places for your infants to travel, and usually come with cosy carrycots or seats for infants, as well as car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.
Be sure to look for models that have easy-to-use push handles and the GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack trays for both kids and parents are also helpful.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side, allowing both children to face one other. Some parents prefer this style since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in which seat. It is also a good option for places such as the zoo, where the children are able to see each one another. Tandems are generally larger than single buggy but they tend to be larger and may feel longer when they are pushed.
Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair, but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families that are expecting more than one child and it means you won't need to buy a new buggy when your older child is outgrowing it. However, it may not be the best choice for twins in the early months as they'll need to be the same age and weight.
The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it is able to handle off-road trails too.

The Phil & Ted Sport double buggy for twins Jogger is able to be used with the seat in the main compartment, or with a clever double kit that is attached directly to the single seat. It features one swivel wheel at the front and all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers that we have tested. It also works with many car seats.

Convertible
A convertible twin pushchair offers an option that is flexible, allowing you to adapt the layout of your pushchair as your kids grow.

These types are generally larger than the regular buggy, but they can fit through doorways and are more maneuverable up and down kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers in tandem which is ideal for siblings.

A common choice of configuration for parents who are new is the side-by-side arrangement in which one child sits behind the other. This type of twin pushchair gives both children the same view and is typically narrower than one pushchair, making it easier to maneuver in the public transportation system and in doors.
