Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's needs.

Choose a foldable stroller which can fold in one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You might also want an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy roads to traverse.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair, stroller Compact and usually can accommodate two children in a row. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This can make them less agile on footpaths. It is also difficult to navigate through kerbs with a car seat is attached. However, the extra width does mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable to carry on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams, and can take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This allows you to create an entirely enclosed twin space, which is perfect for newborns. The folding pram comes with amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight like other options, but it's really cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. Its clever frame expands widthways to take two seats, and you can use it as a twin right from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. The large shopping basket that is 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 more easily. Our reviewers chose this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want 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 as the children can look at the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to watch both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful if you plan to have more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest 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 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. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and in the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be set up in a way that they face each other or higher up to see what each 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 have a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets Some models can be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain, thanks 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. This means you can create an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
