A List Of Common Errors That People Do With Twin Pushchair
What to Look For in a Twin Pushchair
If you have two kids or babies that are similar age, a twin pushchair will be a great choice. They have two places to transport your little ones and typically come with cosy carrycots or seats for newborns, as well as car seats that are compatible with older toddlers.
Be sure to look for models that have easy-to-use push handles and an GIANT storage basket. Add-ons like cups and a snack tray for kids and parents are also helpful.
Tandem
The classic tandem twin pushchair allows both children to face each other. This is the preferred style of some parents who find it less likely to cause sibling rivalries over who sits where. It is also ideal for trips to places like the zoo where both kids can easily see each other. Tandems can be more spacious than single buggy but they tend to be wider and can feel long when pushed.
A few twin buggies are initially designed as single pushchairs and then can be extended to fit two seats or carrycots by adding an adapter.

It may not be the most suitable option for twins who are in their beginning stages, since they'll need to be of the same weight and age.
Another type of twin buggy is the jogger which can be used in a double buggy that converts to single or single mode and accommodates two car seats. It has an air-filled tire and a swivel forward wheel, so it can also be used for off-road trails. It is heavier than other models but it also has durability.
