Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If 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 and double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Choose a stroller which can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You may also want an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children together. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doors, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram (click here now) from birth, and many models can be used with a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even convert into a single mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin space, which is perfect for babies. The pram also comes with a number of really neat accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be positioned to face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It is not as lightweight as other models but it's incredibly well designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate two seats and you can use it as a twin from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. It is also possible to use it as a mono mode with one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. It is a top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a pushchair that can allow the children to sit close to each other so that they can be able to see each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo since the children will be able to look at all the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who have to keep an eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant since they can look at both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

For example for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it has an ample basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be set to face each other or one can be set higher up so it can see over the other and see what they're up to.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side by side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles, and some models can be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can use two carrycots or a car seat and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel pushchair system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer and may appear less stable when you bump into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
