What Pushchair Experts Would Like You To Be Educated

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be set up in various ways to meet your needs.

Look for a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to carry into your boot. You could also opt for a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair that usually can accommodate two children in a row. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. However the extra width does mean that they're often a lot more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them easier on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams for newborns and accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates an enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns. This pram comes with some really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin pushchair-facing prams for newborns). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used as an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. And it has a rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This will allow both children to sit together and interact with each other. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to watch both their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful if you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair to put away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame can expand to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be placed so that they face each opposite or higher up to be able to see what the other is doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can be used on uneven terrain, or for an exercise walk due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can include two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. This means you can create an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
