Why Pushchair Is Your Next Big Obsession

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to transport your twins from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Find a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your boot. You might also want an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly if you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side by side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. This pram uk also comes with a number of really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be put on face either way (for twin pushchairs-facing prams) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It is not as lightweight like other options, but it's really cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to take a second seat and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. It is also possible to use it as a mono mode with one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This allows each child to sit and see each other. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo because the kids will be able to look at all the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their child because they can see both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or only your oldest child is no longer a need for a buggy). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away, which can be costly.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large basket for shopping which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be positioned so that they face each opposite or higher up to observe what the other is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller travel or on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can use two carrycots or a car seat and a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an entire travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, baby essentials that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
