Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range of twin stroller prams includes twin buggies that can be set up in various ways to meet your needs.

Find a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your boot. You might also want an ultra-lightweight design, particularly when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used 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 little tricky to navigate through kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is easier to carry around on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram bags from birth and many models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into a single mode with an additional basket (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 allows you to create a fully enclosed twin room and is perfect for babies. The childs pram comes with really cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight like other options, but it's really cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used in a mono mode with one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. A top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated close to each other, so they can see each one another. These are great for things like going to the zoo because the kids will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to monitor both their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or when your oldest child does not require an extra buggy). This will save you from having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs but it has an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can either be positioned so that they face each opposite or higher up to observe 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. They are sleek and compact stroller frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets Some models can be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as wide rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often use two carrycots or a car seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an overall travel strollers system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled to fit in cars.
