Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to transport your twins from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Choose a stroller which can be folded in just one step and easily lifted into your boot. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is easier on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. This pram comes with some very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options but it is very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It also comes with rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that permits children to sit together, so they can look at each other. These are great for things like going to the zoo because the kids will be able to look at all the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby, as they can see both of them at the same time.

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 does not require a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

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

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or as a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it will often include two carrycots, or a car seat and a buggy seat. This allows you to create an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and can feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
