How Pushchair Can Be Your Next Big Obsession

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range comprises of twin cheap prams and double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's requirements.

Look for a pushchair that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your car. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair that generally can seat two children together. They're generally wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less maneuverable on the footpaths. It is also difficult to move between kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However, the extra width does mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin stroller prams, and can take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with an additional basket (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 lets you create an enclosed twin space and is ideal for infants. The pram comes with very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other models but it's incredibly well created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to double is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two cocoons for newborns, each costing PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large shopping basket behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode with just one child. It also has front and rear suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.

Available in a range of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that permits children to sit together so that they can see each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo as the children can watch the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who must keep an eye on their toddler stroller and the other on their child because they can see both simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two children (or just your eldest does not require a buggy anymore). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store away and 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. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other, or one can be set higher up so it can look over the other and see what they're doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles and 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.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system right from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer and may appear less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
