Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to suit your family needs.

Choose a stroller that folds with one step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy roads to traverse.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair and usually can accommodate two children in a row. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs. This means they are less agile on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width means that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth and many models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin space, which is perfect for newborns. The pram shops near me comes with amazing accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options but it is really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two newborn cocoons, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as a mono mode with one child due to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It also comes with rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top prams choice.

Available in a range of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins you will need a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and look at each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo as the children can watch the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant since they can look at both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful if you plan to have more children than two (or if your eldest child does not require an extra buggy). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.

For 3 in one Pushchair instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest pushchair however it does come with an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can either be placed so that they face each opposite or higher up to be able to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles Some models can be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often use two carrycots or a car seat, and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer and may feel less stable when bumping into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
