Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that can be set up in various ways to meet your requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your car. You might also want a lightweight design that's easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy roads to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double running pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, which means they are less agile on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. However, the extra width means that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode with a basket to 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 put the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. The pram also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be attached to the front or back (for a twin-facing pram) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options but it is really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two newborn cocoons, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It is also possible to use it as mono mode with just one child due to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. And it comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This allows each child to sit and look at each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo since the kids can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on both their toddler and their baby pram simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly beneficial when you are planning to have more than two children (or when your oldest child isn't a need for a buggy any longer). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with a large basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be placed so that they face each other, or one could be placed higher, so that it can see at the other and see what they're doing.

Some double tandem cheap pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side by side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on rough terrain or as a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to transport two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an overall travel pram system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems can be heavier and longer than single Pushchairs travel Systems, and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
