Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller, read on, to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin cheap prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to lift into your boot. You might also want an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly 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 are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're 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 easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth and many models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This lets you create a fully enclosed twin space, which is perfect for babies. The pram is also equipped with a couple of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be attached to the front or back (for a twin-parent facing pushchair pram with car seat) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It is not as lightweight as other models, but it's really cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-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 adding two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. And it has front and rear suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that permits the children to be seated side by side and see each other. These are great for things such as visiting the zoo because the kids can look at all the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their child since they can look at both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy when you're planning to have more than two children (or just your eldest does not require a buggy anymore). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest pushchair, but it has an enormous 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 set to face each other, or one can be set higher up so it can look at the other and see what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can be used on uneven terrain, or for a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often use two carrycots or a car seat and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
