Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
You'll need a double stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that are able to be set up in various ways to meet your needs.
Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your car. You might also want an ultra-lightweight design, particularly if you're tackling busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They're generally bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less able to maneuver on paths. It can also be difficult to maneuver through kerbs with the car seat is in place. However the extra width does mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them more comfortable to carry on your back.
They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models will take both a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as some other options, but it's really cleverly constructed.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no different. Its innovative 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 infant cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. The large shopping basket behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for one child. It has both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. The top choice from our reviewers.
Available in a range of elegant colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that permits the children to be seated side by side, so they can look at each one another. These are great for things like going to the zoo because the kids will be able to look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to monitor both their toddler and baby simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or when your oldest child does not require an extra buggy). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty, which can be expensive.
For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large basket for shopping which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed in a way that they face each the other or higher to see what each is doing.
Double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. more information can also be used on rough terrain or for an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
A tandem pushchair can be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by creating 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 can feel less stable as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
