Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your needs.

Choose a stroller which can fold in one step, and easily put into your boot. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy roads 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 tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways and are more evenly distributed, so it is easier to carry around on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth and many models can be used with a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even convert into a single mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive 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 totally enclosed space for twins and is ideal for newborns. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-parent facing pushchair prams). It's not as light as other models, but it's really cleverly designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. And it comes with rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that permits the children to be seated side by side so that they can be able to see each one another. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, because the kids can look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to monitor both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are very flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy when you're planning to have more than two kids (or Pushchair Twin only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). This will help you avoid 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 clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large basket for shopping that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed so that they face each other, or one can be set higher up so it can look at the other and see what they're doing.

Other double tandem cheap pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or for a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can be used to transport two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system right from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and can be less stable when you bump into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
