What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
A twin pushchair is the perfect option if you have two kids or children of a similar age. They provide two spaces for your children and are typically equipped with comfortable carrycots for infants and also compatibility with car seats for older toddlers.
Be on the lookout for models with easy to use push handles, as well as a GIANT basket. Add-ons like cup holders and snack tray for both kids and parents are also useful.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side and allows both children to face one their respective faces. Some parents prefer this style because it's less likely to cause siblings to argue over the seat they prefer. It is also a good option for trips to places like the zoo, where both children can see each other easily. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies, but they also tend to be larger and longer when they are pushed.
Some twin buggies begin life as single pushchairs but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by putting in an adapter. This is a cost-effective solution for families expecting more than one child and it means that you won't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child outgrows it. It may not be the most suitable option for twins in the beginning stages, since they will need to be of a similar weight and age.

It has an air-filled tire and a swivel-forward wheel, so it can also be used on off-road trails. It is a bit heavier than other models but the extra weight comes with added durability.
The Phil & Ted Sport double jogger can be used with either the main compartment, or with a nifty double kit that can be attached to the existing single seat. It has a single swivel wheel on the front and all-wheel suspension which makes it more stable than other joggers we have tested. It also works with many car seats.

Multiple configurations
The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair can affect its functionality. Consider a variety of seating options to switch up the direction of your child's seats according to their mood or the situation and also continue to use them as they develop. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, for example, is incredibly versatile, with reversible seats and bassinet configurations that allow siblings to face each other and you, or the exciting road ahead. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It can be used either in Mono or Double mode. A range of accessories are available for both configurations.
The side-by-side configuration is a favorite choice for new parents. One child is seated 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, which makes it easier to navigate in public spaces and through doors. The Cybex gazelle S pushchair, for example, offers over 20 configurations which means you can pick the best set-up for your child. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots in tandem mode.

Think about your lifestyle when selecting a twin pushchair. They are generally heavier because they have additional features, such as bigger baskets and padded seats. You might also discover that they're a bit more difficult to maneuver than a single pushchair, and you may need to purchase additional accessories, such as sunshades or rain covers to shield your twins from the elements.
