Easy to maneuver
One of the most used baby products is car seats, a twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for quite some time so it's essential that it's easy to move. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up small and has superb steering. It comes with a variety of extras, which rival brands charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for siblings or twins of different ages as it's designed to take 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode).

It has a smart, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats, so it's easy to take them out and go. It can be a bit long when in double mode, but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.

Choose a model that has an ample basket underneath the seat to store all of the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A handy cup holder and snack tray are also an excellent option, since it will help you reach behind your children to grab drinks and snacks when they begin to get thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat behind the other, are great for siblings of varying age, but they can be a little more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces than side-byside models.

Double buggies may have two handlebars, but this can be harder to control and may require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can adapt the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different ages, as it offers two seats that can be used from birth, and a carrycot facing the parent.
