Choosing a Double pushchair twin (information from Ai Db)

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

Look for a stroller that can fold in 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 streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair and usually can accommodate two children together. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This means they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth and many models can be used with a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for infants. This pram newborn comes with some really cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other models but it's incredibly well constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. 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 front and rear suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This allows both children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to watch both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially handy for families with more than two children (or only your oldest child is no longer a need for a buggy). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away, which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large basket for shopping that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be positioned to face each other or one can be positioned higher up so it can look at the other and see what they're doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side-by-side. The compact stroller, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles. Certain models can be used on rough terrain or as a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can be used to carry two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and can appear less stable when you bump into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled for fitting into cars.
