Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family needs.

Choose a stroller that folds in one step and is easy to put into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair and generally can seat two children together. They are usually larger than single pushchairs. This makes them less able to maneuver on paths. It may also be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However, the extra width does mean that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them easier to carry on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams and accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. This pram sale also comes with a number of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be attached to face either way (for a twin-facing pram double) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate an additional 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 basket of shopping behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for a single child. And it has a rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that permits children to sit close to each other, so they can be able to see each one another. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo because the kids will be able to look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to watch both their toddler and their baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest does not require a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be expensive.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a smart frame that expands widthways to allow for an additional seat. It's not 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 in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can either be set up in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to see what the other is doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets Some models can be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to transport two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel stroller system right from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled for fitting into cars.
