Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family requirements.

Look for a babiie stroller that can fold in one step, and easily put into your car. You might also want lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre, particularly if you have busy roads to tackle.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair that can typically seat 2 children together. 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 up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width does mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth and many models will take both a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with a basket alongside (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 lets you create a fully enclosed twin space, which is ideal for infants. This pram is also equipped with a couple of very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be put on face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight as some other options, but it's really cleverly designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large shopping basket behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for a single child. And it has front and rear suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a range of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This will allow each child to sit and look at each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo as the children can look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to watch 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 when you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest is no longer a need for a buggy). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away and can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair however it does come with a large basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be set to face each other, or one can be set higher up so it can be able to look at the other and see what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain, or for an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it will often take two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
