Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to suit your family requirements.

Look for a stroller that can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your car. You may also want an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially when you have busy high streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side-by-side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs. This means they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doors and are more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth and many models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding the basket (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 carrycot side by side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is ideal for newborns. The pram for newborn comes with very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as other options but it is 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 exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. It also has front and rear suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers chose this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that permits the children to sit side by side and see each one another. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo as the children can look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful pram for newborn families with more than two kids (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away, which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest pushchair, but it has an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can either be set up in a way that they face each other or higher up to see what the other is doing.

Some pram double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or best Travel Stroller (dancelover.tv) side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets, and some models can also be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to carry two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to create an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
