Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family needs.

Look for a pushchair that folds with one step and is easy to carry into your car. You might also want lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy high streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair and generally can 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 bit difficult to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width does mean that they're often a lot more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier to carry on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams, and can accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This creates a fully enclosed space for pushchairs twins, and is perfect for babies. The pram is also equipped with a couple of very cool accessories, including newborn cocoons which can be positioned to the front or back (for a twin-facing pram) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It's not as lightweight as 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 frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second 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 are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. The top choice among our reviewers.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that allows the children to sit together so that they can be able to see each other. These are great for things such as visiting the zoo because the kids will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant, as they can see both simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be positioned so that they face one other or higher up to observe what each is doing.

Other double pram tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain or as an exercise walk due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often include two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
