15 Gifts For The Twin Pushchair Lover In Your Life What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair

Tandem

The classic tandem twin pushchair is side-by-side and allows the children to look at each other. Some parents like this design since it is less likely to cause siblings to argue over who sits in which seat. It is also a good option for visiting places like the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggies. However, they also tend to be larger and longer when being pushed.

It's not necessary to purchase a brand new buggy after your older child has outgrown it. It's not the best choice for twins who are in their beginning stages, since they'll need to be the same weight and age.

It features a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres, so it can handle off-road trails too. It's a bit heavier than some other options however the extra weight brings an increased durability.

The Phil & Ted Sport double Jogger can be used with either seat in the main compartment, or with a handy double kit that is attached to the existing single seat.
