Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies with various configurations to suit your family needs.

Look for a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You may also prefer a lightweight design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children in a row. They're generally bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less agile on footpaths. It can also be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs when the car seat is in place. However, the extra width means that they're often a lot more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams and will accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. The pram comes with very cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It is not as lightweight as some other options but it's incredibly well constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity, and this single-to-double pushchair is no different. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate 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 that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. And it has a rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers selected 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 sit close to each other so that they can see each other. These are great for things such as visiting the zoo since the children will be able to look at all the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby, as they can see both simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or when your oldest child does not require a buggy any longer). This means that you won't be left with an empty triple pushchair to put away which can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a clever frame that opens wide to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be set up 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. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles Some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and can appear less stable when you bump into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled to fit in cars.
