Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll require a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to suit your family requirements.

Look for a pushchair stroller that folds with one step and is easy to carry into your car. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair and usually can accommodate two children in a row. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams and accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This lets you create a fully enclosed twin space, which is perfect for newborns. The foldable pram comes with very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as other options, but it's really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take an additional seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. It is also possible to use it as a mono mode with one child due to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows the children to be seated side by side, so they can be able to see each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo as the children can watch the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to monitor both their toddler and their baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest does not require a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty, which can be expensive.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with an enormous shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other, or one could be placed higher so that it can look at the other and see what they are 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 navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles, and some models can be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and 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 a travel stroller system right from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer and may appear less stable when bumping into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
