Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be set up in different ways to suit your needs.

Find a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to lift into your car. You could also opt for a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children together. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, which means they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate between 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.

They can be used as twin prams from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode by adding 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 carrycot side by side. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. The pram is also equipped with a couple of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be positioned to face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight as other models, but it's really cleverly designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. The clever frame can be expanded to take two seats and you can use it as a twin from birth, thanks to the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large basket of shopping behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. It has both front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows children to sit together so that they can look at each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who have to keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant because they can see both of them simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or if your eldest child does not require the buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to put away which can be expensive.

For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other or one could be placed higher so that it can be able to look over the other and see what they're up to.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled to fit in cars.
