What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is the perfect choice if you have two babies or children with similar ages. They provide two places to transport your little ones and typically come with comfy carrycots or chairs for newborns, and car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.

Look out for models with push handles that are easy to use and an GIANT storage basket. Accessories like cups and a snack tray for children and parents are also helpful.

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows both children to face each the other. Some parents like this design since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over which position. It's also a good option for places like the zoo, where the children are able to easily view each one another. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggy but they tend to be larger and may feel longer when pushed.

This is a great solution for families with more than one child. You won't have to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child is no longer using it. However, it might not be a good option for twins in the beginning, because they'll need to be similar in age and weight.

This type of twin buggy gives both children the same view and is typically narrower than a single pushchair, which makes it easier to maneuver through public spaces and through doors.

Take into consideration your lifestyle when you choose a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier due to the additional features like larger baskets and more padding for the seats.
