How To Know The Right Pushchair For You
Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to take your twins from one place to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Find a stroller that can be folded in just one step and easily lifted into your car. You might also want a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to navigate.

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 may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. However, the extra width means that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even convert into a single mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to fit the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin room and is perfect for newborns. The pram comes with really cool 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 other models but it's incredibly well constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and you can use it as a twin from birth, thanks to the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for one child. It also comes with rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.


Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow children to sit side by side so that they can look at each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can observe the animals together. They are also great for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby, 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 particularly beneficial for families with more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest isn't a need for the buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy that's empty, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other, or one could be placed higher so that it can look over the other and observe what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can be used on rough terrain, or for a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often use two carrycots or a car seat, and buggy seat. prams pushchairs can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
