Choosing a Double pushchair twin (Recommended Web page)
You'll need a double pram pushchair stroller compact to transport your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your needs.
Find a pushchair that folds with one step and is easy to carry into your boot. You might also want a lighter design, especially when you're on busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
This is the most common double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side by side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs with a car seat attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.
They can be used as a twin foldable pram from birth and many models will take both a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into a single mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).
One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. This pram also comes with a number of really neat accessories, such as the newborn cocoons which can be positioned to the front or back (for twin-facing prams) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to double is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with both front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.
Available in a variety of elegant colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows the children to sit close to each other so that they can be able to see each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who have to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby because they can see both at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away which can be expensive.
For example the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large basket for shopping that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be set up so that they face one opposite or higher up to see 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. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain, or for a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
A tandem pushchair can be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system right from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
