Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams and double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Find a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side by side. They are usually larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less able to maneuver on the footpaths. It may also be difficult to move up and down kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However the extra width can mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams and Double stroller will accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into a single mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This lets you create an enclosed twin space, which is perfect for babies. The pram store near me comes with really cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight stroller as other models however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take an additional seat and can be used it as a twin from birth by incorporating the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large shopping basket behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode with just one child. It comes with both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers chose this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that permits the children to be seated close to each other and see each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two kids (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). It means you won't have an empty pushchair that you need to store away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other or one can be set higher so that it can be able to look over the other and see what they're up to.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles. Some models can be used on uneven terrain or as a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can be used to transport two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning and not making separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
