Why Pushchair Should Be Your Next Big Obsession Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your needs.

Look for a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to lift into your car. You might also want a lighter design, especially when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair, and generally can seat two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on paths. It is also difficult to maneuver between kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome on your back.


Many models are able to be used as twin prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one mode by adding 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 put the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This lets you create a fully enclosed twin space, which is perfect for newborns. This pram comes with some really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options but it is very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It is also possible to use it as mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. It is a top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows the children to be seated side by side so that they can look at each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo as the children can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to monitor their toddler and baby at the same time.

pushchair pram are incredibly flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful when you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair to store away, which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with an ample basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode, or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can either be set up so that they face one opposite or higher up to observe what the other is doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles Some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to transport two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an entire travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer and may feel less stable when bumping into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled to fit in cars.
