Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your needs.

Choose a stroller that folds in one step and is easy to put into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy high streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair that can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate through kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doors and also more evenly distributed, so it is easier to carry around on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth and many models will take both a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent 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 creates an enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns. This pram double comes with some really cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and can be used it as a twin from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode for one child. It also has a rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins you will need a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can observe the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to keep an eye on both their toddler and Pushchair twin their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two children (or just your eldest does not require a buggy anymore). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

For example, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can either be placed in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to observe what each is doing.

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

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a travel system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It's worth remembering that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable as you go over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
