Choosing a Double pushchair twin (Recommended Website)

When you have twins, you need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Choose a stroller that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-lightweight design, particularly if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width means that they're usually easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into 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 totally enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. This pram is also equipped with a couple of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned to face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It is not as lightweight as other models but it's incredibly well designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat, and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for a single child. It has both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins you will require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow both children to sit together and interact with each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can watch the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to keep an eye on both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful when you are planning to have more children than two (or in the event that your child who is the oldest doesn't require an extra buggy). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty which can be costly.

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 does come with a large basket for shopping which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can look at the other and see what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or for an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often use two carrycots or a car seat and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel strollers system right from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's worth remembering that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
