Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your needs.

Find a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to put into your car. You could also opt for an ultra-lightweight design, particularly when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side by side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down the kerbs with a car attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed so that it is easier on your back.

They can be used as twin prams for sale from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode with a basket on the side (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 carrycot side by side. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is ideal for newborns. The pram with car seat comes with really cool accessories, like the stroller newborn cocoons, which can be put on 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's very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to take a second seat, and you can use it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. It can also be used as an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top prams pick.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows the children to be seated close to each other and look at each other. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, because the kids can look at all the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant, as they can see both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest pushchair however it does come with a large 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 either be placed in a way that they face each the other or higher to see what the other is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain or as an exercise walk due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often include two carrycots, or a car seat and a buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system right from the outset and save money on additional purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
