What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair sits side-by-side, allowing both children to face each the other. Some parents prefer this style since it is less likely to cause siblings to fight over who gets which seat. It's also a good option for places such as the zoo, where the children are able to be able to see each one another. Tandem buggies are more spacious than single to Double Buggy buggies, however they are also more spacious and longer when they are being pushed.

Some twin buggies are designed as a single pushchair but can be expanded to accommodate two seats or carrycots by using an adapter. This is a great option for families with more than one child. You don't need to purchase a brand new buggy once your older child is outgrowing it. However, it might not be the best option for twin babies in the early months because they'll need to be of similar age and weight.
