Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be set up in various ways to meet your needs.

Choose a stroller that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your car. You might also want lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They are usually bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less maneuverable on the footpaths. It is also difficult to maneuver between kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width can mean that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome on your back.

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

One of the most excellent 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 creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. This pram also comes with a couple of really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be attached to face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two newborn cocoons that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. And it has a rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. The top choice from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow each child to sit and look at each one another. These are great for things like visiting the zoo, since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to keep an eye on both their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is especially handy for families with more than two children (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be positioned to face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can look over the other and see what they're doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Certain models can be used on rough terrain or as a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

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 system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
