Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your requirements.

Choose a cheap stroller that folds with one step and is easy to put into your car. You may also want lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre, particularly if you have busy roads to navigate.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They are usually wider than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on the footpaths. It is also difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doors and also more evenly distributed so that it is easier for you to carry them on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams, and can accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In twin pushchair Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates an enclosed twin space, which is ideal for infants. This pram also comes with a number of very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be positioned to face either way (for a twin-facing pram uk) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight like other options however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat, and you can use it as a twin right from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. The large shopping basket behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for one child. It comes with front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will require a pushchair that is tandem. This allows both children to sit together and look at each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo as the children can look at the animals together. They are also great for parents who have to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their child because they can see both simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy for families with more than two kids (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair cheap to put away and can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a clever frame that opens wide to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs but it has a large basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be positioned to face each other, or one could be placed higher so that it can see over the other and observe what they're up to.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3 in 1 pram, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets. Certain models can be used on rough terrain or as an exercise walk due to their large 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 entire travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
