Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
You need a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your needs.
Find a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your car. You may also want an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy streets to navigate.
Side-by-Side
They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. However, the extra width means that they're generally more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and Parent Facing Pushchair are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.
They can be used as twin prams from birth and many models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat next to a carrycot. This lets you create an enclosed twin space, which is perfect for babies. This pram comes with some very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options, but it's really cleverly created.
Lightweight
Cybex is renowned for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for one child. It also comes with rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.
Available in a range of stylish colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that permits the children to sit together, so they can see each other. They are great for trips to the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to monitor both their toddler and their baby at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest doesn't require an extra buggy). This will save you from having to store a buggy empty, which can be expensive.
For example, the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode, and features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned so that they face each other, or one could be placed higher, so that it can be able to look over the other and see what they're doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact stroller frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets and some models can be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and 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 creating a travel pushchair system at the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
