It folds easily in a single click and is compatible with the majority of 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 a storage area that is easily accessible and easy to access can help you stay organized if you have more than one child. Choose a model with an enormous basket under for storing all the extra accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. It is also a good idea to add a snack tray and cup holder, so you don't have to reach behind your child for a snack or drink when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat in front of the other, are ideal for siblings of varying age groups, but can be a bit more difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces than side-by-side models. double pram and pushchair and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more budget-friendly and can take two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that can be used from birth. It works with two infant car seat or carrycots, and can be used in double mode.

The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children entertained and comfortable while strolling. Look for calf bar adjustable as well as padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to stretch and relax or sit straight up to observe their surroundings.
It is also worthwhile to look for a twin pram with one handlebar, making it easier to steer one-handed. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and make tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, however these aren't always easy to control and could require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate various combinations of infant car seats so you can modify them as your babies grow. For instance, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot and a toddler seat - making it an ideal choice for siblings of varying ages.

They aren't easy to attach to public transport and might not be as stable as a single pushchair when moving between kerbs.
Some models are able to fold smaller than others, which can be important if you're short on storage space at home. Egg2 is a beautiful choice that can be used as a single or a double. It also has various carrycots and infant car seats, so you can alter it as your twins grow bigger. It's also available in a range of colours and has a modern and stylish design.
