Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams travel system as well as buggies that can be set up in various ways to meet your needs.

Find a stroller that can be folded in one step, and easily put into your boot. You might also want a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They're generally wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less able to maneuver on footpaths. It may also be difficult to move between kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However, the extra width can mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them easier on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best 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 totally enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. The pram comes with amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options but it is really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The frame can be extended to accommodate another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used in mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a range of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This will allow each child to sit and see each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to monitor both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This will save you from having to store a buggy that's empty, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest 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 placed so that they face each other or higher up to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or as a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often use two carrycots or a car seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may appear less stable when you bump into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
