The width of your buggy is another important aspect to take into consideration.

Also, remember that when your twins are of different ages and have different needs you’ll need to adjust the seating arrangement regularly.

Safety

Some models have two front wheels for additional stability on rough terrain or bumpy road. Look for features like an auto-stop feature that stops the buggy when you release its handlebar. This allows you to stop it before it rolls. If you’re looking for a double buggy that will take your kids on a walk or run, you’ll want to check the weight limit. It’s also an excellent idea to test the seat recline to ensure your children are comfortable on long walks or jogs.
There are several types of twin buggies that are available including tandem, side-by-side and one-seated. Side-by-side models are ideal for twins or siblings very close in age, as they offer a space for both of them to sit together so they can converse and interact during walks. This type of twin buggy is a bit narrower than other types, which makes it easier to maneuver and pass through doors. However, they could be heavier and have a larger footprint than single buggies, making them feel less stable bumping up kerbs.
Tandem buggys are more likely to be double travel system models, able to attach two carseats or carrycots at the same time. Some models can be adapted to accommodate two identical baby car seats the rear-facing position. They may be smaller and longer than twin buggies that are side-by-side, however they may also be smaller and longer than single buggies.
One-seaters are typically smaller than other kinds of double buggy and make up less pavement. This makes them a good choice for siblings or twins of varying ages, who like to sit next to each other and not wake one another up by pulling their hair or fighting. Some models are designed to be independent in their seat recline, so your little ones can snooze comfortably without kicking each one.
Convenience
With a twin stroller, your children can take their favourite dolls or teddy bears along on walks. There are many models with seats that allow two children can sit side-by-side so they can interact together, and some even come with a handy carry basket that folds down to store everything.
