Choosing a Double pushchair twin (here)
When you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams and double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's needs.
Find a stroller that can be folded in just one step and easily lifted into your boot. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy streets to tackle.
Side-by-Side
They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children in a row. They are usually larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on paths. It may also be difficult to maneuver between kerbs when the car seat is in place. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doors, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is 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 be converted to a single mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat alongside the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed twin space and is ideal for infants. The triple pram is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned to the front or back (for a twin-facing pram newborn) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options but it is 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 another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large basket of shopping behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for a single child. And it has a rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.
Available in a variety stylish colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo since the children can look at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to monitor their toddler and baby pram simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two children (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away which can be expensive.
For example for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large basket for shopping that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can be positioned so that they face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can look over the other and see what they're up to.
Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles, and some models can be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as wide rear wheels.
Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often use two carrycots or a car seat and a buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system right from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may appear less stable when bumping up kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
