What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

A twin pushchair is a great option if you have two babies or children who are similar in age. They have two seats for your infants and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for infants as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.

Look out for models with easy to use push handles and a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack trays for parents and children are also helpful.

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children face each other. Some parents prefer this type of pushchair since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who sits in which position. It is also ideal for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can easily see each other. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single buggies. However, they also tend to be wider and longer when pushed.

Some twin buggies begin as a single pushchair but can be expanded to fit two seats or carrycots using an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child.
