Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll require a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams pushchairs prams pushchairs as well as buggies that can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your needs.

Find a stroller that can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your car. You may also prefer a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less maneuverable on the footpaths. It can also be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doors and also more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams travel system from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some can even be converted to a single mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. The pram also comes with a couple of really cool accessories, including newborn cocoons which can be attached to the front or back (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a standard single). It's not as lightweight like other options but it's incredibly well designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. The top choice among our reviewers.

Available in a range of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow each child to sit and look at each other. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, as the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to keep an eye on both their toddler and their baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful if you plan to have more than two children (or if your eldest child doesn't require an extra buggy). This will save you from 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 clever frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs but it has a large 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 either be set up so that they face one the other or higher to see what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 in 1 pram can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets, and some models can also be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it will often include two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer and may appear less stable when bumping up kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
