Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range of twin Prams pushchairs includes twin buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your requirements.

Look for a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You might also want lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. However the extra width can mean that they're often a lot more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode, with a basket beside (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 fully enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for infants. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options but it is very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the foldable pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It is also possible to use it as an individual mode with only one child due to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It also has a rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that permits the children to sit close to each other so that they can look at each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to watch their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two children (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy which can be expensive.

For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest pushchair but it has an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can either be positioned in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to observe what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top prams of the other or side-byside. They are sleek and compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets Some models can also be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as wide rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
