Easy to maneuver
One of the most used baby products after a car seat twin pushchairs will be the baby's home for quite a while, so it's important that it's simple to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it is lightweight, compact and has excellent steering. It also comes with loads of accessories that rival brands offer separately, such as the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for twins or siblings of different ages as it's designed to accommodate 2 seats and car seats (it can even be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in width when you require the double seat, but it has a single footprint when you're in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
Our test subjects loved the design of this pushchair as well as its many extras. However, it was simple to use. It's easy to fold in a single click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a little long in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack' to make it smaller for PS45.

Choose a model that has a large basket under the seat to store all the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A handy cup holder and snack tray are also an excellent choice, as it will help you reach behind your kids for an ice-cold drink or snack when they start to feel thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in front of the other, are perfect for children of different age groups, but can be a bit more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces than side by side double stroller-byside models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the most suitable tandem alternatives for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or infant carriers.

It comes with a large canopy that provides excellent protection from sun or rain and it's also a breeze to check on your baby with the clever peekaboo hoods.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure both children are comfortable during strolls. Be sure to look out for seats with padding, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf.

It is also recommended to look for twin strollers with one handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller one-handed. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars, but they aren't always easy to control and may require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate various combinations of infant car seats, so you can alter to your baby's needs as they develop. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different ages, as it offers two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has a carrycot facing the parent.

Some can be converted into a single pushchair double by removing the front seat. They aren't easy to connect to public transport and might not be as sturdy as a single pushchair going between kerbs.
Some models fold into smaller sizes than others. This is crucial for those whose storage space is limited.
