Choosing a Double
Pushchair TwinIf you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to suit your family requirements.
Look for a stroller that can fold in one step, and easily put into your boot. You might also want lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly if you have busy roads to tackle.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children together. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This means they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between the kerbs with a car attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.
They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 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 alongside a carrycot. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin space
push chairs and prams is ideal for infants. This pram also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, including newborn cocoons which can be put on the front or back (for twin-facing prams) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight as other models, but it's really cleverly constructed.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies for a total of PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. The large basket of shopping behind the seat can be used in mono mode for a single child. It has both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.
Available in a variety fashionable colors.
Tandem
If you plan to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This will allow both children to sit together and look at each one another. These are great for things like visiting the zoo, since the children can look at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to monitor their toddler and
baby pram at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially handy for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest does not require a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy which can be costly.
The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can either be placed in a way that they face each the other or higher to see what the other is doing.
Double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets Some models can even be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.
Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can include two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating an entire travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and can appear less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
