What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
A twin pushchair is an ideal choice if you have two kids or children with similar ages. They have two seats for your little ones and are usually equipped with a comfortable carrycot for newborns as well as compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.
Look out for models that have 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 sits side-by-side, allowing both children to face each the other. Some parents like this design because it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who gets which position. It's also a good option for places like the zoo, where both children can easily be able to see each other. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggy however they tend to be larger and may feel longer when being pushed.

This can be an affordable option for families that are expecting more than one child. Additionally, it means you won't need to purchase an entirely new buggy once your older child outgrows it. However, it may not be the best choice for twin babies in the beginning since they'll have to be of similar age and weight.
Another type of twin buggy is the jogger which can be utilized in double or single mode and can accommodate two car seats. double pram pushchair features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can cope with off-road trails, too.

With the single swivel wheel on the front 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 too.
