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 a range of twin prams and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family requirements.

Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your boot. You may also want an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side-by-side. They're generally wider than single pushchairs. This can make them less agile on footpaths. It may also be difficult to navigate between kerbs when the car seat is in place. However, the extra width means that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier on your back.

They can be used as twin prams pushchairs from birth and many models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in twin pram Mode, allows you to fit the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates an entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. The pram is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be put on face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as other options, but it's very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used as an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. And it has a rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow children to sit side by side and see each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who have to keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant because they can see both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful if you plan to have more children than two (or if your eldest child isn't a need for the buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs but it has an ample basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be positioned in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to be able to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. The sleek, compact strollers frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or as a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to carry two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel pram system at the beginning and not making 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 tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
