Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's requirements.

Find a stroller that can fold in one step and easily lifted into your car. You might also want a lightweight design that's easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children in a row. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as twin prams for newborns from birth and many models can be used with a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to fit the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This allows you to create an enclosed twin pushchairs room and is ideal for infants. This pram and travel system also comes with a number of really cool accessories, including newborn cocoons that can be positioned to the front or back (for twin-facing prams) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for babies that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket behind the seat can be used in mono mode for a single child. It also comes with rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to monitor their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or if your eldest child does not require an extra buggy). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away, which can be costly.

For example, the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair 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 placed so that they face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can see over the other and observe what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain or as a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an overall travel system prams system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It's worth remembering that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
