Choosing a Double running pushchair twin (experienced)

You require a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your needs.

Look for a triple stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your car. You could also opt for an ultra-lightweight design, particularly in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair, and usually can accommodate two children in a row. They are usually bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less maneuverable on the footpaths. It may also be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is easier on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams and accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent 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 pram room and is perfect for babies. This childs pram is also equipped with a couple of very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons which can be attached to the front or back (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options, but it's really cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It is also possible to use it as a mono mode with one child due to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers chose this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and see each one another. These are great for things like visiting the zoo, since the children can look at all the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby, as 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 particularly useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest does not require a buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to put away and can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs but it has an ample 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 positioned so that they face one opposite or higher up to observe what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles. Certain models can be used on rough terrain, or for a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system right from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It's worth remembering 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 to fit into cars.
