Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll require a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range includes twin prams travel system and buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your needs.

Choose a stroller newborn which can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially 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 are usually larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less able to maneuver on paths. It is also difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width can mean 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.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams and accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. This pram sale comes with some very cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options, but it's very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to take an additional seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. It is also possible to use it as an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers chose this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that permits the children to be seated side by side 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 want to keep an eye on their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are very flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means you won't have an empty pushchair that you need to store away which can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest pushchair but it has an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be set up so that they face one opposite or higher up to be able to see what each is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easy to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets and some models can be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often use two carrycots or a car seat and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning and not making separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled to fit in cars.
