Tandem buggies can be larger than single buggies, however they also tend to be larger and longer when pushed.

A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs, but can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter. This can be an economical option for families with more than one child and it means that you don't have to purchase a new buggy when your older child outgrows it. However, it might not be a good option for twins in the early months since they'll have to be similar in age and weight.

The jogger is another type of twin buggy that can be used as a double or single buggy that can be able to accommodate two car seats. It has a swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres so it is able to handle off-road trails, too. It is a little heavier than other models but the extra weight is an increased durability.

Convertible

A convertible twin pushchair is a versatile option that lets you alter the configuration as your children grow.

Multiple configurations

The seating arrangement of your twin pushchair could significantly affect its performance. You should consider a variety of options that allow you to change the direction that your child's seat faces depending on their mood, the situation, or even as they develop.
