Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds tiny and has excellent steering. It also comes with plenty of extras that other brands offer separately, such as the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice for twins and siblings of various ages, because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). Its clever frame expands widthways when you're required to use the double seat, yet keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, which makes it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than side-by-side buggies.
Aside from the fact that it looks great and has plenty of extras, our testers found this stroller really stood out for its ease of use. It has a smart, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats, so it's easy to pop them in and go. It's a bit long in double mode, however you can buy a "sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.

Pick a model that has a large basket underneath to store all the additional accessories such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. It is also a good idea to add an eating tray and a cup holder, so you do not have to reach behind your child to get a snack or drink when they are hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are great for siblings with different ages, but they can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces. double pushchair and Silver Cross Wave provide the most suitable tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.

The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable during their strolls. Find adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. These will give your child the chance to relax and stretch out or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
It's also worth looking for a twin pram with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, however these aren't always easy to control and could require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various 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 are suitable from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat, making it a great option for siblings of different age.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. Its ultra-light frame that allows it to be used in double mode and is folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies are a great option for twins. They offer an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. They typically have one cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for infants and the other one has an upright design and can be used by toddlers. Some of them can be converted into a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. They can be tricky to fit on to public transport and might not be as stable as a single pushchair when going up and down kerbs.
Certain models can fold up smaller than others, which could be a good thing if you're low in 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 baby car seats so you can alter it as your twins grow larger. It is available in many colors and is stylish modern design.
Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your twin stroller in great condition for many years to come. This will help avoid problems like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould and prolong its lifespan.
Start by vacuuming the pushchair to remove dirt, crumbs and grime in all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will help get into the crevices and seams of fabric parts, including the seat, canopy and basket.
After vacuuming, take off the seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them on the gentle cycle with gentle detergent for infants. Make sure all parts are dry before reassembly to avoid corrosion or water damage.
To eliminate any odours that have become hardened or sticky messes, it is recommended to regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding parts. If needed, a silicone-based lubricant must be used in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair can reveal any signs of wear and tear and enable you to repair them as soon as possible to reduce the risk of more problems.
