Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double folding stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your requirements.

Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your car. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair that generally can seat two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they are less agile on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doors and are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome for you to carry them 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 models can be converted into one mode by adding an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, infant carriages and is ideal for newborns. The pram comes with very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-parent facing pushchair prams). It's not as light like other options however it's very cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two cocoons for babies 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 shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It also comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated side by side and look at each one another. These are great for things such as visiting the zoo as the children can look at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to keep an eye on their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two children (or only your oldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This will save you from having to store a buggy empty, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair, but it has an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode, or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be placed in a way that they face each the other or higher to be able to see what each is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Certain models can be used on rough terrain or for a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often include two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel stroller system right from the outset and save money on additional purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable as you go over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled to fit in cars.
