Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is among the most commonly used baby products, right after the car seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time so it's essential to make it easy to move. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight twin stroller, folds up compactly and has a great steering. It comes with a lot of extras, and rival brands charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice for twins and siblings of various ages, as it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you're using the double seat, but maintains a single footprint in mono mode so it's much easier to navigate narrow spaces than buggies that are side-by-side.

It folds easily in a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It can be a bit long when it's in double infant stroller mode but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it more compact.

A twin buggy from birth pushchair with storage space that is easily accessible and convenient can help you stay organized when you have more than one child. Pick a model that has a large basket underneath to store all terrain Double stroller the additional accessories such as baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. It's also a great idea to add a snack tray and cup holder, so you aren't bending over behind your child to get a snack or drink when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat in front of the other, are great for siblings of varying ages but may be a little more difficult to maneuver through small spaces than side-by-side models. 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.

Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children content and comfortable while strolling. Look for calf bar adjustable as well as padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or be seated straight up to watch their environment.
You should also look for twin prams with one handlebar that makes it easier to steer the stroller using one hand. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and make tight turns.

Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can alter the stroller as your child grows. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot as well as an infant seat, making it the perfect choice for siblings of various ages.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, toddlers and a baby, or even three children. It features a slim frame that makes it easy to use in double stroller with car seat mode and is folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies are a great option for twins and offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models.
