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 as well as buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your needs.

Choose a stroller travel which can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your boot. You could also opt for a lightweight design, especially when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs. This means they are less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. This pram also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, including newborn cocoons that can be positioned to face either way (for twin-facing prams pushchairs prams) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to double is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat, and you can use it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. The large basket of shopping behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with both front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. A top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a range of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will need a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and look at each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo as the children can observe the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who need to keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their child because they can see both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest does not require a buggy anymore). This will help you avoid having to store an empty buggy, which can be expensive.

For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, however it comes 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 could be placed higher so that it can see at the other and see what they're doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or as an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often use two carrycots or a car seat pram seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an overall best travel pushchair system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
