Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll require a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to suit your family requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds in one step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also prefer a lightweight design, especially when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, which means they are less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs with a car seat attached. However the extra width does mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams pushchairs prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates an entirely enclosed twin space, which is perfect for newborns. This pram bag comes with some very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight like other options however it's very cleverly designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no different. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large shopping basket behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for one child. And it comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow the children to sit together and look at each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can look at the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who have to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby since they can look at both 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 if your eldest child does not require an extra buggy). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away and can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it has an ample basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be positioned so that they face one other or higher up to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles of 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.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer and may feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
