Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be set up in a variety of ways to meet your requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds with one step and is easy to carry into your car. You may also want lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre, particularly if you have busy roads to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less agile on paths. It can also be difficult to maneuver through kerbs with the car seat is in place. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth, and many models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to a single mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This lets you create an enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It is not as lightweight as other models however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and you can use it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. The large basket of shopping behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. It has both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

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

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful if you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away, which can be costly.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest pushchair but it has a large basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be set up so that they face one the other or higher to be able to see what the other is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles and some models can even be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can be used to transport two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a travel pushchair system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and can be less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
