Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll require a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be set up in different ways to suit your requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your boot. You might also want an ultra-lightweight design, particularly if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side by side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, which means they may be less nimble on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate between kerbs with a car seat attached. However, the extra width does mean that they're generally more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams and take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive 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 creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. The pram with car seat comes with really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It is also possible to use it as a mono mode with one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that allows children to sit together so that they can be able to see each other. These are great for things like visiting the zoo, because the kids will be able to look at all the animals together. They are also great for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their child since they can look at both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, pram for newborn example can be used in double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest pushchair but it has a large basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be placed so that they face each other, Triple Pram or one could be placed higher, so that it can see over the other and observe what they're doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles Some models can be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it will often take two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and can appear less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
