Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams for sale as well as buggies that can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your requirements.

Find a stroller that can be folded in one step, and easily put into your car. You may also want a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially when you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair and usually can accommodate two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This means they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate through kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to fit the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. The pram also comes with a number of really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be positioned to the front or back (for a twin-facing foldable pram) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options but it is 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 two seats, and you can use it as a twin right from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. It also comes with rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. The top choice among our reviewers.

Available in a range of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This will allow both children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to watch their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest does not require the buggy anymore). This will help you avoid having to store an empty buggy, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be set up so that they face each the other or higher to observe what the other is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3 in one pushchair, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets Some models can even be used as a jogging 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 include two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel stroller system from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled to fit in cars.
