Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be set up in various ways to meet your requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to lift into your car. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width does mean that they're often a lot more comfortable to maneuver through doorways push chairs and prams are distributed more evenly making them more comfortable to carry on your back.

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

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This allows you to create an entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. The pram comes with very 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 extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat, and you can use it as a twin from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.

Available in a range of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair stroller that permits children to sit close to each other and be able to see each one another. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest child is no longer a need for a buggy). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate an additional seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large basket for shopping that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be positioned so that they face each other, or one can be positioned higher up so it can look over the other and observe what they are doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller or 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 build a travel pram system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer and may appear less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
