Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds in one step and is easy to put into your boot. You could also opt for an ultra-lightweight design, particularly when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair sale, and can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, which means they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate between the kerbs with a car attached. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doors and also more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

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

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration 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 newborns. This pram comes with some really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and you can use it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for one child. It has both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow children to sit close to each other so that they can see 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 monitor their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or if your eldest child does not require the buggy anymore). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair with car seat to store away and can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with an enormous shopping basket which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned in a way that they face each other or higher up to observe what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact travel pram frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often use two carrycots or a car seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and can feel less stable when bumping into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
