Easy to manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most frequently used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby's primary residence for a long time so it's essential to make it easy to move. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds small and has superb steering. It also comes with loads of accessories that rival brands don't sell separately, like an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of different ages because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). Its clever frame expands its width when you're using the double seat, but keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, which makes it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than side-by-side buggies.
Our testers loved the look of this pushchair and its many extras. It was simple to use. It folds with a single click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a bit long when it's in double mode but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.

If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a handy and easily accessible storage space will help you keep things well-organized. Pick a model that has an enormous basket under for storing all the extra accessories, such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags.

Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat behind the other, are perfect for siblings of varying ages but may be a bit more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces than side-by-side models.

However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an incredible twin stroller that is available from birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double mode (you could also include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three children).

It features a large canopy that offers excellent protection from the rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it easy to keep your baby's attention.

The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children content and comfortable on their strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. They will allow your child to stretch out and relax or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
It's also worth considering a twin pram that has a single handlebar to make it easier to steer one-handed. This will help you to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars however this isn't always easy to manage and may require two hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can alter the stroller as your baby grows. For instance, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat - making it a great choice for siblings of varying age.
