Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range comprises of twin sale prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family requirements.

Find a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to carry into your car. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, which means they may be less nimble on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate up and down the kerbs with a car attached. However the extra width does mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams and will accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent example of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for infants. This pram is also equipped with a couple of really neat accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be put on face either way (for twin-facing prams) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take two seats, and you can use it as a twin from birth, thanks to the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode for one child. And it has front and rear suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a range of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This allows each child to sit and see each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can watch the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to monitor their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful if you plan to have more than two children (or when your oldest child isn't a need for a buggy any longer). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away and can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it offers a large basket for shopping that is placed behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other, or one can be positioned higher up so it can see at the other and see what they're doing.

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

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can take two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
