The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's light it folds down small and has excellent steering. It also comes with loads of extras that rival brands offer separately, such as the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.

Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat in front of the other, are perfect for siblings of varying age groups, but can be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through narrow spaces than side-by-side models.

The best twin pushchairs starting from birth are designed to keep both children comfortable during strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or stand straight to observe their environment.

It's also worth considering a twin pram with one handlebar, making it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns.
