Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double triple stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family requirements.

Choose a stroller which can be folded in just one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You might also want a lightweight design that's easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy roads to tackle.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair that generally can seat two children together. They are usually larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on footpaths. It is also difficult to navigate through kerbs with a car seat is attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams and will accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted into a single mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive 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 creates a totally enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. The pram and travel system is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be attached to the front or back (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It's not as light as other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. The large shopping basket behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and look at each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can observe the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to watch their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or if your eldest child doesn't require the buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.

For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has a large basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode, or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be positioned to face each other, or one could be placed higher so that it can look at the other and see what they're doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain or for a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system from the outset and save money on separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and can feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
