It s Time To Expand Your Pushchair Options

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams pushchairs and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family requirements.

Find a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly if you have busy high streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children together. They're generally larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less able to maneuver on footpaths. It can also be difficult to maneuver between kerbs when the car seat is in place. However, the extra width means that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable to carry around on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth and many models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even be converted to one mode by adding an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This creates an entirely enclosed twin room and is ideal for infants. This pram also comes with a number of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned to face either way (for twin-facing prams) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as light like other options but it's incredibly well constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and you can use it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. It is also possible to use it as mono mode with just one child due to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This allows both children to sit together and look at each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can observe the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to monitor both their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or just your eldest does not require a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy empty, which can be expensive.

For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs but it has a large basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can either be placed so that they face each the other or higher to be able to see what each is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on rough terrain or as an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can 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. It's worth remembering that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled to fit in cars.
