Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is among the most popular baby items, following a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time so it is essential to make it easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's light, folds small and has a great steering. It comes with lots of extras, which rival brands charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for twins or siblings of different ages as it's designed to take 2 seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands widthways when you need to use the double buggy for Twins seat, but keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, making it more maneuverable through narrow passageways than side-by-side buggies.

It's easy to fold with just a click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a little long when in double mode, but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child A twin pushchair from birth with a handy and easily accessible storage area can help you keep things organised. Pick a model that comes with a large basket under the seat to store all the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are also an excellent option, since it will help you reach behind your children to grab a drink and snack when they begin to feel hungry or thirsty.
Tandem twin pushchairs with one seat in the front make great for children of varying ages, however they are more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots in double single pushchair-mode (you can even include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space, as well as a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough for a large shopping bag. It comes with a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep your baby's attention.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children content and comfortable during their strolls. Look out for padded seats with recline features, as well as adjustable bar for the calf. These features will allow your child to relax and stretch out or sit straight up to observe their surroundings.
You should also consider twin prams with a single handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller one-handed. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars, however these can be difficult to control and may require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can alter the stroller as your baby grows. For example, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that are suitable for babies from birth, a cozy parent-facing carrycot as well as a toddler seat - making it the perfect choice for siblings of varying ages.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three children by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It features a slim frame that allows it to be used in compact double buggy mode, and it can be folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies are a great option for twins and offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. They typically have one padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for infants while the other is a more upright position and can be used by toddlers. Some can be converted into one stroller by taking out the seat in front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and they may not be as stable when traveling between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold into smaller sizes than others. This is crucial if your home storage space is small. The egg2 is an elegant choice that can be used as a single or a double buggy with car seat. It also has a variety of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can alter it as your twins grow bigger. It's also available in a range of colours and comes with a lovely contemporary style.
