Finding the Best Twin Pushchair

The best twin pushchair for your twins or a baby and toddler, is vital to ensure they are comfortable during your travels. These models are lightweight and easy to set-up, with plenty of features.

The egg2 has an elegant frame and can be used as a double pram and pushchair or single buggy, with 2 carrycots/seats. It has 5 reclining positions to ensure maximum comfort and is great on rough terrain.

Side-by-Side

Twin pushchairs car seats are a good option for parents who want to keep their kids close and in sight. They are also smaller and easy to maneuver than tandem strollers. They may not fit through certain doors and hallways. It's important to verify the dimensions.

The most effective side-by-side twin pushchairs are made of durable materials and come with plenty of features to help you adjust them for your growing family. Most of them come with seats that recline to nearly flat and be adjusted into multiple positions, including two different lying flat positions for infants. There is also a lot of storage for your gear and shopping. Some have a huge shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat in a parent-facing mode, giving you quick access to the things your kids require on outings.

A good example of a fantastic side-by-side twin pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Duet. It is the slimmest tandem pushchair available and has a footprint comparable to a single buggy. It is also extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver over various terrains. This makes it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. It also comes with a large sun canopy and UPF 50+ fabric to provide maximum protection against the elements.

Another great side-by-side twin pushchair is Cybex's Wave It features a unique frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat. It can be used from birth as double stroller (and can accommodate two carrycots or child car seats) It also has an innovative one-click fold that our Lab experts are awestruck by. It is also very comfortable for children to ride in. The seats are large with plenty of legroom.

The UPPAbaby vist v2 is a popular option for families with two toddlers or infants. It can accommodate two infant car seats and is designed to grow with your children.

The one-click folding feature is simple and the suspension assists it to take on bumps and bumps.

It can be used to transport twins, a baby and a toddler, or even three kids with the help of a 'PiggyBack'-style board (sold separately for a price of PS120). It has front suspension to tackle rougher surfaces, as well. Its one-handed folding system is extremely convenient and our lab technicians love how fast it can be closed and opened. It also has an ample basket as well as front and rear suspensions for better handling on rough terrain. The only issue is that its fabric isn't as luxurious as some of the other options we've reviewed. It's a reasonably priced twin stroller.

Tandem

A popular choice for twins as well as larger families alike, tandem twin pushchairs are a single buggy that can be made to accommodate two carrycots or infant seats - or a mix of both. Many double travel systems use this style and can be used with a variety of car seats (although not all). This type of pushchair generally is larger than a side-by-side model but it is able to fit through doorways and on to public transport, particularly that have a step-through frame. It may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs because of its weight. It could also require dismantling in order to fit in the car.

Some tandem buggy frames are able to be used as singles, with a rumble seat added to the front, back or under. This is ideal for children of different age. The iCandy Peach is one example, offering 16 different seating options. It folds down compactly when it's not in use. The Joolz Geo, another smart choice for city dwellers is the UPPAbaby Vista 2, which can be used by twins or babies and toddlers with its 'piggyback board'.

The iCandy Wave is also a great twin pushchair. It can be used as a single pushchair with an infant in front, or as a double facing the parent, with both children facing towards the rear. It folds by a single button and compatible with a variety of car seats. However, you will need to purchase adapters for cars that aren't made by iCandy.

The Phil & Teds Sport tandem stroller is a sleek, elegant tandem stroller with a narrow footprint. Its all-wheel suspension and single swivel wheel on the front make it an excellent off-roader. The pushchair might not be as lightweight as other models however it's a great budget option that includes a variety of extras rival brands sell separately. The seat is also a great height for older children to to sit comfortably.

Convenient

Twin strollers (sometimes called duo or tandem strollers) are ideal for families that need to transport two children with similar ages. The majority of twin strollers feature side-by-side seating, but some are available in different configurations to allow you to select the most comfortable option for your family.

The Graco DuoRider, for example is a one-hand fold and is packed with customizable comfort features that both children will love. You can adjust their recline, calf supports, and canopy to their liking making it a practical option for mums looking for an easy, double pushchair.

It can take two car seats or carrycots and can be used in mono mode to create smaller frames that are more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. The iCandy Wave is popular with parents who are conscious of their appearance and can be customised by adding a variety of accessories to suit your personal style.

Our lab experts were impressed with the ease of install, with an innovative frame that expands widthways and allows the seats out and in by a single click. They also loved how big it was, with a deep shopping basket and front and rear suspension to ease the way over bumps and uneven surfaces. They did find it slightly long in twin mode and when using the two carrycots or seats, both children have to face forwards, which could be a problem for some.

The Joolz Urban Glide is another great option for jogging that can be adjusted for use with two or more children in car seats. It has a large canopy that can be expanded to give adequate coverage and a peekaboo feature which kids and adults alike will love. It's heavier than some of the other models, but our lab experts found it to roll smoothly and offered plenty of storage under the car, but you'll need to buy additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers.
