Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams and double buggies with various configurations to suit your family requirements.

Look for a stroller that can fold in one step, and easily put into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-lightweight design, particularly when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair that usually can accommodate two children side-by-side. They're generally wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less able to maneuver on footpaths. It is also difficult to move up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width can mean that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. This pram uk comes with some very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams for newborns). It's not as light as other options but it is very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and can be used it as a twin from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. It can also be used in mono mode with just one child thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins, you'll require a pushchair that is tandem. This allows each child to sit and see each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can observe the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their child since they can look at both of them simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of cheap pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned so that they face each the other or higher to be able to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or for a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem foldable pushchair is that it can take two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system right from the outset and save money on additional purchases. It's worth remembering that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled to fit in cars.
