Safety

Look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy if you release the handlebar, so you can stop it before it rolls away.

It's also a good idea to test the recline of the seat, to make sure your children are comfortable during long jogging or walking.

There are three types of twin buggies: tandem and one-seated. The side-by-side model is ideal for twins and siblings that are very close in age. They can sit together so that they can chat and interact on walks. This kind of twin buggy is a bit narrower than other models, making it easier to maneuver and fit through doors. They may be heavier, have a bigger footprint and feel less stable when bumping into kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be double-travel systems, with the option of attaching two carrycots or car seats simultaneously. Some models can be enlarged to hold two infants in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They may be smaller and longer than twin buggies that sit 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 road. They are an excellent choice for siblings and twins who want to be seated together without waking eachother up by fighting or pulling one hair. Certain models come with independent recline positions, meaning that your children can sleep peacefully without kicking each other.

Convenience

With a twin stroller, your children can take their favourite dolls or teddies with them on walks. Many models have seats where two children can sit side by side to play together and some have a carry basket that folds up to keep everything in.
