Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll require a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin best prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family requirements.

Choose a stroller which can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your car. You could also opt for an ultra-lightweight design, particularly 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 makes them less maneuverable on paths. It can also be difficult to move through kerbs with a car seat is attached. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doors, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is easier for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode by adding the 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 ideal for newborns. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-parent facing pram prams). It's not as lightweight as other options but it is very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two newborn cocoons that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used as a mono mode with one child due to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. A top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and see each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo as the children can look at the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to watch both their toddler and their baby pram simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra versatility as they can change 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). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy that's empty which can be expensive.

For example, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can be positioned so that they face each other, or one could be placed higher, so that it can look at the other and see what they are doing.

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

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair newborn is that it can use two carrycots or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
