Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your needs.

Choose a stroller which can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your car. You may also want an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy roads to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They're generally larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on the footpaths. It is also difficult to navigate through kerbs with an automobile seat is installed. However the extra width can mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth, and many models can be used with a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. The pram is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons which can be put on the front or back (for a twin-facing pram sets) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It is not as lightweight as some other options, 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 expanded to accommodate a second seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two newborn cocoons that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It is also possible to use it as an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and interact with each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to watch both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away and can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned to face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can be able to look over the other and see what they are doing.

Other double 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 aisles in supermarkets. Some models can be used on rough terrain or as a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by creating an entire travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and can feel less stable when bumping into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
