Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin cheap prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Look for a stroller that can fold in one step and then easily tucked away into your boot. You may also want a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side by side. They tend to be bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less able to maneuver on paths. It is also difficult to navigate between kerbs when the car seat is in place. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth, and many models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into a single mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. The pram is also equipped with a couple of very cool accessories, including newborn cocoons which can be put on face either way (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight as other options, prams but it's very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate two seats and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. It can also be used in mono mode with just one child thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. And it comes with rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a range of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that allows the children to sit side by side, so they can look at each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo since the kids can observe the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to monitor both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful if you plan to have more children than two (or if your eldest child isn't a need for a buggy any longer). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away and can be expensive.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large basket for shopping which is located behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can either be positioned so that they face one the other or higher to observe 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 navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain or for an exercise walk due to their large 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. This allows you to build a travel pram system right from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled to fit in cars.
