Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's needs.

Look for a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also want lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy roads to tackle.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They tend to be bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less able to maneuver on paths. It may also be difficult to move up and down kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However the extra width can mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry 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 or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one mode by adding an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This lets you create an entirely enclosed twin room and is perfect for babies. The pram set is also equipped with a couple of really neat accessories, including newborn cocoons which can be attached to face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as other models however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two newborn cocoons that cost PS59 each. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a range of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and see each other. They are great for trips to the zoo as the children can observe the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to monitor their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and in the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be set up in a way that they face each the other or higher to observe what each is doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 in 1 pram, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles, and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

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 system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
