Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams and double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Find a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You could also opt for a lighter design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They tend to be larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less able to maneuver on the footpaths. It may also be difficult to maneuver through kerbs with an automobile seat is installed. However the extra width can mean that they're often a lot more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them easier to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. The pram double comes with really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options, but it's really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair car seat converts to a single is no different. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat, and you can use it as a twin from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode for a single child. And it has a rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow the children to sit side by side so that they can see each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to watch both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs car seats provide ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is particularly useful if you plan to have more children than two (or when your oldest child does not require a buggy any longer). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large basket for shopping that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can either be positioned in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to observe what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 in one pushchair can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can be used on rough terrain or for a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel strollers system from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It's worth remembering that tandems can be 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 for fitting into cars.
