Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's requirements.

Look for a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your car. You might also want a lightweight design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This can make them less agile on the footpaths. It can also be difficult to maneuver between kerbs when the car seat is in place. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is easier for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram - Learn Additional Here - from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot or 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 fit the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. This pram shops near me comes with some amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other models however it's very cleverly designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take two seats, and you can use it as a twin right from birth by incorporating the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode for a single child. It also comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll require a pushchair that is tandem. This allows the children to sit together and interact with each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can watch the animals together. They are also great for parents who have to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their child, as they can see both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially handy when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest does not require a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy empty which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned to face each other or one could be placed higher, so that it can be able to look over the other and see what they're up to.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3 in 1 pram, are capable of seating one over the other or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easy to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles, and some models can also be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as wide rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can include two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable as you go over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
