Be on the lookout for models that have easy-to use push handles as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack tray for parents and kids are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair lets both children to face one another. This is the preferred choice of some parents who find it less likely to trigger sibling rivalries over who sits where. It's also a great alternative for places such as the Zoo, where both children can easily see each their fellow. Tandems are often more spacious than single buggys but they tend to be larger and may feel longer when pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs, but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to buy a brand new buggy when your older child is no longer using it. It might not be the best option for twins in the early years, as they will need to be the same weight and age.

The jogger is a second type of twin buggy that can be used as a single or double stroller with car seat 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 as well. It is heavier than other alternatives but it also has durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport Double Jogger can be used either with the seat in the main compartment or with a clever double kit that can be attached directly to the single seat. With one swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension it handles rough terrain better than many other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a range of car seats as well.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair provides the flexibility to allow you to adapt the configuration of your pushchair as your children get older. The frame starts as an individual pushchair, but it has adaptors attached to it to allow for the addition of a second chair such as a carrycot or car seat. These models are a bit wider than standard buggy models, however, they are able to fit through doors and are more suited to maneuver on kerbs. They also allow you to use a toddler car seat and infant car seat or two carrycots side-by-side which is great for siblings of varying ages.

The iCandy Peach 7 double stroller with car seat buggy is a wonderful illustration of this type. It can be configured with 25 different ways using seats, car seat and carrycots. Our test team loved how light and slim it is for a double-seater, as well as offering a spacious comfortable, sturdy ride for children. The clever and intuitive one-handed reclining mechanism on the back of the seat unit also makes it easy for your child to lay on their backs.

The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards that attach to the middle frame could accommodate a third child.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have significant impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for several options that allow you to change the direction your child's seat is facing based on their mood, the circumstances or even as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for instance, is extremely versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face one another, you, or the exciting road ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.

The side-by-side arrangement is a popular option for parents who are new. One child is seated behind the second. This type of twin buggy gives both children the same view. It generally narrower than a single pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance, offers over 20 configurations to choose the best set-up for your child. It can also be used with two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

For those who want to take their twins on jogging or for more adventurous adventures with the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy a jogger with both kids facing towards the front. This lets you keep on top of your running partner and keep the kids content while they play.

In general, twin pushchairs tend to be a bit heavier than their single counterparts because they come with additional features like larger baskets and extra-padded seats and a padded seat, so take into consideration your lifestyle before you choose this type of stroller. You might also discover that they're a bit more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you may need to purchase additional accessories like rain covers or sunshades to protect your twins from the elements.

It is equally important to test the quality of a small double buggy pushchair, as it is to ensure that it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. To get the best value choose brands that have a strong focus on sustainability and offer detailed details on their manufacturing methods. You can also gain valuable insight into the ideal twin pushchair for you by joining parenting groups online or attending local events where you can talk to other parents about their experience and recommendations.

Storage

You'll have to carry a lot of stuff for twins so make sure you have a large undercarriage basket with plenty of pockets or compartments to stash your essentials. Make sure the storage areas are accessible with the seats in various positions, too. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can carry twins or a toddler and a baby, plus has room to add a 'PiggyBack' board for older kids (PS120). The Roma Gemini is able to accommodate two babies with the cocoons that come with it (PS59 each). Because of the new design, you can put the cocoons either facing forward or backward. It also has a convenient standing fold for easy storage between uses.
