Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Find a stroller that can fold in one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You might also want a lightweight design that's 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, which means they are less agile on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. However the extra width can mean that they're generally easier to navigate 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 cheap prams and accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one-mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. The pram also comes with a couple of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be attached to face either way (for a twin-facing pram) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It is not as lightweight like other options however it's very cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no different. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate two seats and you can use it as a twin from birth, thanks to the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child due to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It also comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated together so that they can 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 need to watch both their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly beneficial for families with more children than two (or when your oldest child does not require a buggy any longer). This means you won't have an empty pushchair to put away, which can be costly.

For example, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be positioned in a way that they face each the other or higher to observe what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets Some models can even be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often include two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
