Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

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

Look for a pushchair that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your car. You might also want a lighter design, especially when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair that generally can seat two children together. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. However, the extra width does mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier to carry around 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 2 car seats. Some can even convert into a single mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This lets you create an enclosed twin room and is perfect for newborns. This pram comes with some really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight stroller as other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It is also possible to use it as a mono mode with one child thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with 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 elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow children to sit together, so they can look at each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo since the kids can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to monitor both their toddler and their baby pram simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away, which can be costly.

For example for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with an ample basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be positioned so that they face each opposite or higher up to observe what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3 in one pushchair, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning, and avoiding 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. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
