Choosing a Double pushchair twin (www.Pushchairsandprams.Uk)

If you have twins, you need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to suit your family needs.

Look for a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy high streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair that usually can accommodate two children together. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate through kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're generally more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier to carry around on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams and accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one-mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best 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 creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. This pram comes with some really cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other models however it's very cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no different. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat, and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for one child. And it has front and rear suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a range of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a pushchair that can allow the children to sit side by side so that they can see each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant since they can look at both of them simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is particularly useful if you plan to have more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest isn't a need for an extra buggy). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

For example for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and in the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can either 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 such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning and not making separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may appear less stable when bumping up kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
