Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to suit your family requirements.

Look for a stroller that can fold in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You might also want a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair travel system, and usually can accommodate two children together. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they may be less nimble on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate up and down the kerbs with a car attached. However, the extra width does mean that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. The pram also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, including newborn cocoons which can be positioned to face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double 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 cocoons for newborns, each costing PS59. 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. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins, you'll require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow both children to sit together and look at each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to watch both their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial when you are planning to have more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest isn't a need for an extra buggy). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has a large basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be placed so that they face one other or higher up to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They feature a sleek, compact strollers frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles Some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
