Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds with one step and is easy to carry into your boot. You could also opt for an ultra-lightweight stroller design, particularly in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair that can typically seat 2 children in a row. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate between the kerbs with a car attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and also more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams and will accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode with a basket on 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 allows you to create an enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. This pram comes with some really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as other options but it is very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat, and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will need a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and interact with each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo since the children can look at all the animals together. They are also great for parents who have to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their child because they can see both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more children than two (or in the event that your child who is the oldest isn't a need for a buggy any longer). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to put away, which can be costly.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that expands widthways to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with a large basket that can be set 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 so that it can see over the other and observe what they're doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles Some models can be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as wide rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often use two carrycots or a car seat, and a buggy seat. This means you can create an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
