Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most popular baby products, after a car-seat. It will be the baby's primary residence for a long time so it’s important to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's light, compact and has excellent steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that other brands don't sell separately, like an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice for twins and siblings of various ages, since it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode).

Our testers loved the look of this pushchair and its numerous features. However, it was easy to use. It's easy to fold with just a click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a little long in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" to reduce it for PS45.

Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat behind the other, are perfect for siblings of varying ages but may be a bit more difficult to manoeuvre through tight spaces than side-byside models.
