Safety

The best twin buggies come with suspensions that can withstand grass, gravel paths and kerbs. Some models come with two front wheels to provide extra stability when riding on bumpy roads or rough terrain.

You should also test the seat recline to ensure that your children will be comfortable during long runs or walks.

There are a variety of twin buggies such as tandem, side-byside, and one-seated. Side-by-side models are ideal for siblings and twins who are very close in age. They can be seated together so that they can chat and interact on walks. This kind of twin buggy is a bit narrower than others, making it easier to maneuver and pass through doors. They may be heavier, have a larger footprint, and feel less stable when bumping kerbs.

Tandem buggy models are more likely to be double travel systems, and offer the possibility of attaching two carrycots or car seats simultaneously. Some models can be enlarged to hold two babies in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They could be narrower and longer than twin buggies which are side-by-side, however they may also be smaller and longer than single buggies.

One-seated models are usually much narrower than other types of compact double buggy buggy and make up less road.

Some models are designed to be independent in their reclined seat and your kids can sleep comfortably without hitting each one.

Convenience

Some models come with a parent tray with removable changing mats as well as under-seat storage baskets.
