Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your requirements.

Find a stroller that can fold in one step and easily lifted into your car. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doors, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is easier on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models can be used with a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into a single mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for infants. This pram also comes with a number of really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be attached to face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options but it is really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. The large shopping basket behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. And it has a rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow the children to sit side by side, so they can see each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can observe the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby since they can look at both of them simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful if you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away and can be expensive.

For example for pushchairs instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it does come with an enormous shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be set up so that they face one other or higher up to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. They are sleek and compact strollers frame that makes them easy to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets Some models can even be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can include two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a travel stroller system at the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
