Choosing a Double pushchair newborn twin (more..)

If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family needs.

Choose a cheap stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your car. You could also opt for a lightweight design, especially when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children together. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This means they may be less nimble on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed, so it is easier to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams and accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one 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 place the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin room and is ideal for infants. The pram comes with really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It is not as lightweight as some other options, but it's really cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. The large basket of shopping behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. It also comes with rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that allows children to sit close to each other and see each one another. These are great for things such as visiting the zoo as the children can look at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to watch both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy which can be expensive.

For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned so that they face one the other or higher to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or as a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can be used to transport two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
