Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be configured in various ways to meet your requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds in one step and is easy to lift into your boot. You might also want an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy high streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side by side. They are usually bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less able to maneuver on footpaths. It can also be difficult to move between kerbs when the car seat is in place. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doors, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is easier for you to carry them on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one-mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates an enclosed twin room and is perfect for newborns. The pram and car seat comes with very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as other models however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It is also possible to use it as a mono mode with one child thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll require a pushchair travel system that is tandem. This will allow both children to sit together and interact with each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby, as they can see both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is especially handy when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be placed in a way that they face each other or higher up to observe what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 in one pushchair can seat one on top prams of the other or side-by-side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them 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 and wide rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to transport two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and can be less stable when you bump into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
