Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your needs.

Find a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to carry into your car. You might also want an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially when you have busy roads to navigate.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They are usually wider than single pushchairs. This can make them less agile on the footpaths. It can also be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier to carry on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth and many models can accommodate a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even be converted to one-mode with a basket alongside (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 lets you create an entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns. This pram is also equipped with a couple of really neat accessories, including newborn cocoons that can be positioned to face either direction (for a twin-facing folding pram) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as other options, but it's really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It is also possible to use it as a mono mode with one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers selected this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated together so that they can look at each one another. These are great for things like going to the zoo since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby since they can look at both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket which is located behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be positioned higher so that it can look over the other and observe what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can be used on rough terrain or for an exercise walk due to their large 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 creating an overall travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and can appear less stable when bumping into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
