Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
You need a double stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be set up in a variety of ways to meet your needs.
Find a pushchair that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your car. You could also opt for a lightweight design, especially when you're on busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair, and generally can seat two children in a row. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate between 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 easier on your back.
Many models are able to be used as twin prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).
One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This allows you to create an enclosed twin room and is ideal for infants. The pram is also equipped with a couple of really neat accessories, including newborn cocoons, which can be put on face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight as some other options, but it's really cleverly designed.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. Push Chairs And Prams is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It also has a rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.
Available in a variety fashionable colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins you will require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow both children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can watch the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to keep an eye on their toddler and baby at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest does not require a buggy anymore). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair to store away and can be expensive.
The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest pushchair however it does come with an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be placed in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to be able to see what the other is doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.
Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can use two carrycots or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a travel system at the beginning and not making separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
