This is the preferred choice of parents who believe it less likely to trigger sibling rivalries over who sits where. It also works well for trips to places like the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems can be larger than single buggy however they tend to be wider and can feel long when being pushed.<br /><br />Some twin buggies start life as single pushchairs and then can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots with the addition of an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. It's not necessary to purchase a new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. However, it might not be a good option for twins in the beginning since they'll have to be the same age and weight.<br /><br />Another type of twin buggy is the jogger which can be utilized in double or single mode and has two car seats. It features a swivel front wheel and tyres that are air-filled, so it can handle off-road trails too. It's a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight is the added durability.<br /><br />The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the main compartment, or with a nifty double kit that is attached to the existing single seat. With a single swivel front wheel and all-wheel suspension, it is able to handle rough terrain better than other joggers that we have tested and is compatible with a variety of car seats too.<br /><br />This compact stroller that converts from a single to a double is perfect for urban adventures. Its easy maneuverability and large basket make it perfect for urban adventures. It features UPF50plus sun canopy that can be extended to provide shade and a peekaboo view in the front seat so that both children can take in the view. The model doesn't have recline built-in, but it can be combined with a Roma Gemini Carrycot (PS100 per carrycot) to make a space that is flat for newborns or infants. It can also be fitted with a toddler's seat, making it an all-seater.<br /><br />Convertible<br /><br />A convertible twin pushchair offers the flexibility to allow you to adapt the layout of your pushchair as your children grow. The frame is initially a single pushchair with adaptors to add a second chair, carrycot or a car seat. These models tend to be larger than the typical buggy, but are able to be able to pass through doors and are more maneuverable between kerbs. These models allow you to use two carrycots or a car seat for toddlers side-by-side which is ideal for siblings.<br /><br />The iCandy Peach 7 double buggy is a wonderful example of this kind of. It can be set up in a variety of ways, including seats, car seat and carrycots.

It comes with seats that can be removed that can be positioned to face forwards or backwards, making it suitable for twins of any age. The RumbleSeat and PiggyBack riding boards which attach to the middle frame could accommodate a third child.<br /><br />Multiple configurations<br /><br />The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can have a significant impact on its efficiency. You should consider various options that will permit you to change the direction in which your child's seat faces depending on their mood, circumstances or even as they grow. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin is an example of a product that's extremely adaptable. It has reversible bassinet and seat configurations, which allows siblings to face one another, you or embark on a new adventure. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A variety of accessories are available for both configurations.<br /><br />The side-by-side configuration is a popular option for parents who are just starting out. One child sits behind the second. This type of twin pushchair offers the advantage of giving both children the same view. It is typically narrower than a single pushchair, making it easier to maneuver through public spaces and through doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for instance, offers over 20 configurations which means you can pick the best set-up for your child. It can also take two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.<br /><br />For those who want to take their twins for a jog or go on more adventurous adventures, the Valco Jump Seat attachment turns this side-by-side double buggy a jogger with both children facing forwards. This allows you to keep pace with your running companion and keeps the kids happy as they explore.<br /><br />Consider your lifestyle when choosing a twin pushchair. They tend to be heavier due to the extra features such as bigger baskets and padding for the seats. You may also find they are a bit heavier than a single stroller and that you need to purchase additional accessories like sunshades or rain covers to protect your twins.<br /><br />It is equally important to test the quality of a double pushchair, as it's to ensure that it is compatible with your budget and lifestyle. Look for brands that prioritise sustainability and provide detailed information about their manufacturing processes to ensure that you're getting the best value for money. Joining online parenting groups or attending local events can give you important information on the most suitable twin pushchair.<br /><br />Storage<br /><br />You'll be carrying lots of things for twins, so look for a spacious undercarriage basket as well as plenty of pockets or compartments to store your necessities.

The Roma Gemini can accommodate two newborns in the included cocoons (PS59 each) The modified design allows you to connect them facing either direction.
