Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your needs.
Look for a stroller that can fold in one step and then easily tucked away into your boot. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially in high traffic streets.
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, which means they're less agile on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate up and down the kerbs with a car attached. However, the extra width means that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them easier to carry around on your back.
They can be used as a twin pram bags from birth, and many models can be used with a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even be converted to a single mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. This pram also comes with a number of really neat accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned to face either way (for twin-facing prams for sale) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It is not as lightweight as other models, but it's really cleverly constructed.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child due to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. The top choice from our reviewers.
Available in a variety of fashionable colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair stroller that permits the children to be seated side by side, so they can see each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to monitor their toddler and baby at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful if you plan to have more than two children (or when your oldest child isn't a need for an extra buggy). It means you won't have an empty pushchair that you need to store away which can be expensive.
For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be positioned so that they face one the other or higher to be able to see what the other is doing.
Double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side by side. The compact travel pram, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles. Some models can be used on rough terrain or as a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can use two carrycots or a car seat and a buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable as you go over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
