Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your requirements.

Look for a stroller that can fold in one step, and easily put into your boot. You may also want an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly if you have busy roads to navigate.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're less agile on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down the kerbs with a car attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways and are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams and will accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to fit the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This lets you create a fully enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. The pram comes with amazing accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It is not as lightweight as some other options but it's incredibly well created.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take an additional seat and you can use it as a twin from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It also has a rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. The top choice from our reviewers.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

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

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful if you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest does not require a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty, which can be expensive.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers an enormous shopping basket which is located behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be positioned so that they face one other or higher up to be able to see what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like 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 doorways and aisles in 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 will often use two carrycots or a car seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning push chairs and prams not making separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and can feel less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
