Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family needs.

Choose a stroller which can be folded in just one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You could also opt for a lighter design, especially when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair that generally can seat two children side-by-side. They're generally bigger than single pushchairs. This can make them less agile on paths. It can also be difficult to maneuver through kerbs with an automobile seat is installed. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and also more evenly distributed, so it is easier on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams and will take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even be converted to a single mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. This pram newborn is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, including newborn cocoons that can be attached to face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It is not as lightweight like other options, but it's really cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its unique pushchairs prams pushchairs, and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate another seat. You can use the folding pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. And it comes with rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows children to sit side by side and see each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can watch the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to monitor their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy that's empty, which can be expensive.

For example, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be set to face each other or one could be placed higher, so that it can be able to look at the other and see what they're doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets, and some models can be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system prams system right from the outset and save money on separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and can feel less stable when bumping up kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
