Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
You'll need a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.
Find a stroller that can fold in one step and then easily tucked away into your boot. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly if you have busy roads to navigate.
Side-by-Side
This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome to carry around on your back.
Many models are able to be used as twin prams and will accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).
One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This creates a fully enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns. This pram comes with some amazing 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 light as some other options but it is extremely well-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. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. It is a top pick from our reviewers.
Available in a variety of elegant colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that permits children to sit together so that they can see each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo as the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who have to keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their child because they can see both at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.
For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode, and features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair however it does come with an enormous basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be set up in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to observe what the other is doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact travel pram frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles Some models can be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.
A tandem pushchair can be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an entire travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
