Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double stroller to transport your twins 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 requirements.

Find a stroller that can fold in one step, and easily put into your car. You could also opt for a lighter design, especially when you’re on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair, and generally can seat two children together. They are usually wider than single pushchairs. This can make them less able to maneuver on the footpaths. It can also be difficult to move through kerbs with a car seat is attached. 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 around on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth and many models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat next to a carrycot. This lets you create an entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It’s not as lightweight as other options, but it’s extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take a second seat, and you can use it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you’re planning to have twins, you’ll require a tandem pushchair. This will allow both children to sit together and look at each one another. These are great for things like going to the zoo as the children will be able to look at all the animals together. They’re also perfect for parents who need to keep an eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant, as they can see both simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are very flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial if you plan to have more than two children (or when your oldest child doesn’t require an extra buggy). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It’s not the tiniest pushchair, but it has an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode, or in the back when it’s in mono mode. The seats can be placed to face each other or one can be set higher up so it can see at the other and see what they are doing.

Double tandem pushchairs prams, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain or as a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a travel system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and can feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled to fit in cars.
