Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most commonly used baby products after car seats, a twin pushchair will be the baby's primary residence for quite a while, so it's crucial that it's easy to manoeuvre. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it is lightweight, folds small and has a great steering. It also comes with plenty of extras that rival brands sell separately, including a fleecey padded seat liner.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for siblings or twins of different ages as it's designed to take 2 seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode).

It's easy to fold in a single click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a bit big in double mode, but you can purchase a'sidepack' to make it smaller for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and practical can help you stay organized if you have more than one baby. Pick a model that comes with a large basket under the seat to store all of the extra accessories such as changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It is also a good idea to incorporate a snack tray and cup holder, so you aren't bending over behind your child to grab drinks or snacks when they are hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with one seat in the front are great for siblings of different ages, but they can be more difficult to maneuver around narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem choices for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth.

It comes with a large canopy that provides exceptional protection from the sun or rain, and it's also easy to check on your baby by using the clever peekaboo hoods.

Tandem buggies have a more streamlined look than side-byside buggies and are a great option for twins. They typically have a padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for newborns while the other is a more upright posture and can be used by toddlers. Some can be made into a single stroller by removing the seat in the front. Some aren't easy to fit on public transport, and they may not be as stable moving on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Some models fold into smaller sizes than others. This is crucial when your storage space in your home is limited. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used for a single or a double.
