Choosing a Double
Pushchair TwinYou'll require a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be configured in various ways to meet your requirements.
Choose a stroller which can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your car. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly if you have busy high streets to tackle.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double
compact pushchair, and usually can accommodate two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width does mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them more comfortable to carry on your back.
They can be used as a twin
folding pram from birth, and many models can be used with a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin room and is perfect for babies. This pram also comes with a number of very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be put on the front or back (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options, but it's very well thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two newborn cocoons that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It is also possible to use it as an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It also has a rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.
Available in a range of elegant colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that allows children to sit together and see each one another. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant, as they can see both of them at the same time.
Some tandem
pushchairs prams pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially handy when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy which can be expensive.
For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair, but it has an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode, or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be positioned so that they face each other, or one can be positioned higher, so that it can look over the other and see what they are doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The
compact pushchair, sleek frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain, or for a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can take two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer and may appear less stable when you bump into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
