It's also a good alternative for places such as the zoo, where the children are able to be able to see each other. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies. However, they also tend to be more spacious and longer when they are they are pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs, but can be extended to hold two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This can be an economical option for families with more than one child, and it means that you won't have to buy another buggy if your older child has outgrown it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins in their early years, as they will need to be of the same weight and age.

Another type of twin buggy is the jogger, that can be used in single or double mode and accommodates two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can cope with off-road trails too. It is heavier than other models however it offers durability.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is the flexibility to allow you to alter the layout of your pushchair as your children grow.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement can have a significant impact on the performance of your twin pushchair. It is important to look for a variety of options that permit you to change the direction that your child's seat is facing based on their mood, the situation, or even as they develop.
