Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller in order to take your twins from one place to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's requirements.

Find a stroller that can be folded in just one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You might also want lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly if you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side by side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. However the extra width can mean that they're usually more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them more comfortable to carry around on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams and will accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. The pram comes with really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned 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 its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two newborn cocoons, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for one child. It has both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins you will need a tandem pushchair. This allows both children to sit together and see each other. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo as the children can look at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to watch both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.

For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be positioned so that they face each opposite or higher up to be able to see what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or for a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair car seat is that it can include two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled for fitting into cars.
