Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double stroller to transport your twins 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 requirements.

Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your boot. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy high streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This means they may be less nimble on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams, and can take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. The pram sets comes with very cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight like other options, but it's really cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its innovative pushchairs pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies for a total of PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It is also possible to use it as an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It also has front and rear suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top prams choice.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and look at each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to watch both their toddler and their baby stroller at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away, which can be costly.

For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat. It's not 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 in a way that they face each other or higher up to observe what the other is doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain or for an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
