Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
You'll require a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be set up in various ways to meet your requirements.
Find a stroller that can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your boot. You may also want an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy streets to traverse.
Side-by-Side
This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate through 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.
They can be used as a twin pram from birth and many models can be used with a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This lets you create an entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns. Pushchairs And Prams comes with very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other options but it is really cleverly thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take a second seat and you can use it as a twin right from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. It can also be used in a mono mode with one child due to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It also comes with rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.
Available in a variety of stylish colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow the children to sit side by side and look at each other. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo because the kids can look at all the animals together. They're also perfect 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 offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you're planning to have more than two children (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This will help you avoid having to store an empty buggy which can be costly.
The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with an enormous shopping basket which is located behind the front seat in double mode (and in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to be able to see what each is doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets Some models can even be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.
A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a travel system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer and may feel less stable when you bump into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
